OM4&OM5 Multimode Cables

OM4 & OM5 Multimode Fiber Optic Cables – LC/SC/FC/ST Simplex & Duplex

Overview

NS OM4 & OM5 Multimode Fiber Optic Cables deliver premium performance for high-bandwidth, short-reach applications in modern data centers. Designed for 40G/100G SR4, 100G BiDi, and SWDM technologies, OM4 and OM5 provide extended reach, higher modal bandwidth, and superior performance in dense patching environments.

OM4 supports 10G SR up to 550 m and 40/100G SR4 up to 150 m.
OM5 extends multimode capability with wideband operation from 850 to 953 nm, enabling 40G/100G SWDM transmission using just two fibers.
