With the development of science and technology, the speed of urban informatization continues to accelerate, and the requirements for communication technology are getting higher and higher. OM4 fiber optic patch cord is more and more popular due to its advantages of fast transmission speed, long distance, safety and stability, anti-interference, and convenient expansion. It has become the first choice for people when laying communication.
"OM" standforopticalmulti-mode, that is, optical mode, is a standard for multimode fibers to express fiber grades. The bandwidth and maximum distance for different levels of transmission are different.

For a typical link, the cost of optical modules is about very expensive. Although the cost of single-mode fiber is cheaper than that of multi-mode fiber, the use of single-mode fiber requires very expensive 1300nm optical modules, and its cost is about 2-3 times that of 850nm multi-mode optical modules. The cost of the system is much lower than that of single-mode fiber systems.
When investing in fiber optic cabling, if you can consider increasing the initial investment of some cabling and use better multimode fibers, such as OM4 fiber patch cords, you can ensure that the current multimode fiber technology is fully utilized and the overall cost of the current system is reduced; When the system needs to be upgraded to a higher rate system, such as 40G and 100G, OM4 can still be used and will be more cost-effective.
In short, when the transmission rate is greater than 1Gb/s, the use of multimode fiber is a good system choice. When the system requires higher transmission rates, the following are our guidelines for selecting OM4 fiber patch cables:
1. For Ethernet users, in 10Gb/s system transmission, the transmission distance can reach 300m to 600m; in 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s systems, the transmission distance is 100m to 125m.
2.For campus network users, OM4 fiber will support 4Gb/s fiber link length of 400m, 8Gb/s fiber link length of 200m or 16Gb/s fiber link length of 130m.
