The core advantages of OM5 fiber optic jumper

Three core advantages of OM5 fiber optic jumper

OM5 fiber optic jumper has three core advantages. First of all, its first advantage lies in its strong scalability. OM5 fiber patch cord can combine short-wavelength wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) and parallel transmission technology, and only requires 8-core broadband multimode fiber (WBMMF), It can support 200/400G Ethernet applications, and the future application potential is huge.

The second advantage is that the use of OM5 fiber optic jumpers can effectively reduce construction and operation costs. OM5 fiber jumper draws on the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology of single-mode fiber, which extends the available wavelength range for network transmission, and can support 4 wavelengths on 1-core multimode fiber, reducing the number of required fiber cores to 1/4 of the previous one, which greatly reduces the wiring cost of the network, and is also one of the fundamental reasons for its wide recognition.

The third advantage is: OM5 fiber jumper has obvious advantages in compatibility and interoperability, and can support traditional applications like OM3 fiber jumper and OM4 fiber jumper. In addition, it is fully compatible with traditional OM3 and OM4 fiber patch cords, and the interoperability between them is extremely strong.

Meet the transmission needs of high-speed data centers

OM5 optical fiber jumper endows super-large data centers with strong vitality. It breaks through the bottleneck of parallel transmission technology and low transmission rate adopted by traditional multimode optical fibers. Not only can use fewer multimode fiber cores to support higher-speed network transmission, but also, because it uses a lower-cost short-wavelength wavelength, the cost and power consumption of the optical module will be far lower than the single-mode fiber optics using long-wavelength laser light sources. optical fiber. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of the transmission rate requirements, OM5 fiber jumpers will have broad application prospects in the future 100G/400G/1T ultra-large data centers.

Taking the first generation of 400G Ethernet fiber optic cabling in the future as an example, a total of 16 core fibers are required for sending signals, and 16 core fibers are used for receiving signals. Wiring system for core MPO/MTP interface. Therefore, high wiring costs will inevitably bring enormous pressure to data center operators.

If OM5 optical fiber jumpers and short wavelength division multiplexing optical modules are used, only 8 cores of multimode fibers are needed in total, of which 4 cores are used to send signals, and the other 4 cores are used to receive signals, and each fiber transmits 4 wavelength, and the transmission rate of each wavelength is 25Gbps. Therefore, each fiber of the OM5 fiber patch cord can transmit data of 100Gbps.
