List of Multimode Optical Cable Models
There are five main types of multimode fiber, standardized by ISO/IEC 11801: OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 and OM5. Multimode Fiber (MMF) has a core diameter, typically 50–100 micrometers, has ability to transfer multiple modes of light through the fiber core, uses lower-cost electronics (LED, VCSEL) operates at. Multimode fiber is a common choice to achieve 10 Gbit/s speed over distances required by LAN enterprise and data center applications. This Applications Engineering Note (AE Note) discusses the criteria for properly selecting the optimal multimode fiber (MMF) for enterprise applications.
