Fiber and Bandwidth within a Data Center

 

 

What fiber you use in a data center is determined by the amount of bandwidth your high-speed network requires. Sometimes, it may be necessary to mix newer, higher-speed fiber with older, previously installed fibers.

 

What is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is the total amount of data that can be transmitted down a fiber.

 

Maximum Bandwidths of Different Multimode Fibers

 

  • OM1 – 62.5 um Core – 10GBit up to 33 meters
  • OM2 – 50 um Core – 10GBit up to 82 meters
  • OM3 – 50 um Core, Laser Optimized – 10GBit up to 300 meters
  • OM4 – 50 um Core, Laser Optimized – 10GBit up to 550 meters

 

What are the Main Differences?

 

  • OM1 contains the only fiber with a 62.5um core and has the lowest bandwidth capacity.
  • The major difference between OM2 and OM3 fiber patch cords is that OM3 fibers by design is (laser) optimized, allowing data to transmit further.
  • OM4 fibers are capable of transporting 10GBit data the furthest.

 

Additional Bandwidth Options

 

With a greater demand for higher bandwidth, extensions of IEEE 802.3 standards have emerged. Growing in popularity are 12-fiber MPO-style connectors. These newer protocols allow OM3 and OM4 fiber jumpers to operate at either 40Gb or 100Gb per second. Rather than using traditional serial transmission as a LC or SC connector would, these MPO connectors operate using parallel optics transmission (lanes). By transmitting 10Gb per fiber (lane) of the ribbon fiber, the higher bandwidths are achieved.
