5 Reasons Why We Choose OM5 Fiber
The momentum behind the new OM5 wideband multimode fiber type in buildings and data centers recently received several significant boosts. In an international standards ballot that closed in 2017, OM5 was chosen by an overwhelming majority of nations as the official designation for cabling containing Wide Band Multimode Fiber in the upcoming 3rd edition of the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electric technical Commission standards, or ISO/IEC 11801. This is an important milestone in standards progress and for market acceptance of this new and revolutionary fiber cabling performance category . It extends the benefits of multimode fiber within connected and efficient buildings and within data centers worldwide. Meanwhile at the TIA meetings subcommittee TR-42.12 (fiber and cables) passed a motion to associate the color lime with WBMMF. The motion opened a new project, TIA-598-D-2 (addendum), to accommodate lime as the jacket color for WBMMF ...
