Fiber patch cords are used as patch cords from equipment to fiber optic cabling links. It has a thicker protective layer and is generally used in the connection between the optical transceiver and the terminal box. At present, with the countdown to 5G commercial use, the data center's requirements for transmission rates are also increasing, and OM5 fiber jumpers have begun to be used more and more.
At the very beginning, the OM5 fiber patch cord was called Broadband Multimode Fiber Patch Cable (WBMMF), which is a new standard for fiber patch cords defined by TIA and IEC, with a fiber diameter of 50/125 μm. Compared with other OM3 and OM4 fiber optic patch cords, OM5 fiber optic patch cords can be used for higher bandwidth applications. Because the fiber preform manufacturing process of the OM5 fiber optic patch cord has been significantly optimized, it can support higher bandwidths.
In terms of structure, it is not significantly different from OM3 and OM4 fiber patch cords, so it is fully backward compatible with traditional OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber patch cords. In February 2017, TIA clearly stipulated that the identification color of OM5 fiber optic patch cords is aqua, and the outer sheath colors of OM3 and OM4 fiber optic patch cords are lake blue and purple respectively, and OM3 and OM4 fiber optic patch cords can still be used with OM5 fiber optic cables. The jumpers work together, the only difference is that the color of the outer jacket needs to be changed for easy identification of the OM5 connection.
In order to meet the more comprehensive application of OM5 fiber optic patch cords, ZR manufacturers have developed and produced a rich and complete range of fiber optic patch cords and their peripheral products. You can buy them all in one stop and save more time. If you have optical fiber needs, please contact us.
