FAQ

What is multimode fiber optic cable?

Multimode fiber optic cable is designed to transmit multiple modes of light and is commonly used for shorter-distance high-speed network and data communication applications.

What is the difference between OM2, OM3 and OM4?

OM2, OM3 and OM4 are different multimode fiber grades with different bandwidth characteristics and typical application distances.

Is this cable GJFJV?

Yes. The listed product configurations use GJFJV cable construction.

What core sizes are available?

Core availability depends on the multimode grade:

OM2: 6C / 12C
OM3: 6C / 12C
OM4: 4C / 6C / 12C

Is OM3 suitable for 10Gbps?

OM3 is commonly used for 10GbE applications, but the actual achievable distance depends on the optical transceiver, network equipment and installation.

Is OM4 better than OM3?

OM4 generally provides higher bandwidth than OM3, but the correct choice depends on the required speed, distance, equipment and project specification.

Is this cable suitable for data centres?

Selected OM3 and OM4 configurations can be suitable for data-centre and high-speed network applications, subject to the project specification.

Can ETL supply multimode fiber cable in bulk?

Yes. Contact ETL for bulk requirements, project quotation, availability and technical support.
