OM4 Bend Insensitive Multimode Fibre

Short Description:

OM3/OM4 Bend Insensitive Multimode Fibres comply with or exceed ISO/IEC 11801-1 OM3/OM4 specifications, IEC 60793-2-10 A1-OM3/A1-OM4 specfications, and TIA-492AAAF A1-OM3/A1-OM4 specifications.

OM4 Bend Insensitive Multimode Fiber (BIMMF) is a type of optical fiber that is designed to have improved performance and durability when subjected to tight bending conditions. It is specifically engineered to minimize signal loss and maintain high transmission quality even when the fiber is bent at sharp angles.

The term “OM3/OM4″ refers to the optical multimode fiber specification defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). OM3/OM4  fibers are designed to support high-speed data transmission over short distances, typically within data centers or local area networks (LANs).

The “bend insensitivity” characteristic of OM3/OM4 BIMMF means that it can tolerate tight bending without significant signal degradation or loss. This is achieved through the use of advanced fiber design and manufacturing techniques that minimize the impact of bending-induced losses.

OM3/OM4 BIMMF is particularly beneficial in applications where space is limited or where fiber routing requires tight bends, such as in data center cabling, fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) installations, and other high-density environments. It allows for greater flexibility in cable management and installation, while maintaining high data transfer speeds and reliable performance.

Overall, OM3/OM4 BIMMF offers improved signal integrity, enhanced flexibility, and greater reliability in demanding multimode fiber optic applications. It is widely used in high-speed data communication systems that require efficient and robust optical connectivity.
