Overview of our OM3 Fiber Optic Cables

OM3 fiber optic cables are laser-optimized multimode fibers (LOMMF) designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-bandwidth applications. They support 10Gbps up to 300m, 40Gbps up to 100m, and 100Gbps up to 70m, making them ideal for short- to medium-range communication.

OM3 fibers operate at an 850nm wavelength, using VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) for efficient signal transmission. With a 50µm core diameter and a bandwidth capacity of 2000 MHz·km, they offer low modal dispersion and reliable performance in high-speed networks. OM3 is widely used with MPO/MTP® connectors for parallel optics applications, ensuring efficient and cost-effective networking solutions.

Overview of our OM4 Fiber Optic Cables

OM4 fiber optic cables are high-performance multimode fibers (LOMMF) designed for ultra-fast data transmission in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-speed backbone applications. They support 10Gbps up to 550m, 40Gbps up to 150m, and 100Gbps up to 150m, providing extended reach compared to OM3.

OM4 fibers operate at an 850nm wavelength using VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers), with a 50µm core diameter and a bandwidth capacity of 4700 MHz·km, ensuring lower signal loss and reduced modal dispersion. Optimized for MPO/MTP® connectivity, OM4 enables efficient parallel optics transmission, making it an ideal solution for high-speed, high-density networking environments.

Overview of our Singlemode Fiber Optic Cables

Single-mode fiber optic cables are designed for long-distance, high-speed data transmission in telecommunications, internet backbone networks, and high-bandwidth applications. They support speeds from 1Gbps to 400Gbps and can transmit data over distances exceeding 100 km with minimal signal loss.

With a small core diameter (8-10µm), single-mode fiber allows only one light mode to travel, eliminating modal dispersion and ensuring clear signal transmission. Operating at 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, they use laser-based light sources (DFB lasers) for precise, low-attenuation transmission. Single-mode fiber is essential for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), long-haul communication, and high-speed networking applications.

What Is Plenum Rated Fiber And Why Is It Important for MTP Indoor?

Plenum-rated fiber optic cables are designed for safe installation in air-handling spaces such as ceilings, raised floors, and HVAC ducts in commercial buildings. They comply with NFPA 262 fire safety standards and feature low-smoke, fire-resistant properties, reducing the spread of flames and toxic fumes in case of a fire.

For MTP® indoor applications, plenum-rated cables are crucial as they ensure network safety, compliance with building codes, and reliable high-speed data transmission in data centers, offices, and high-density networking environments. Their durability and fire-resistant properties make them the preferred choice for structured cabling systems in mission-critical installations.

Can I Get a Custom MTP® Trunk Assembly?

Yes! LANshack offers custom-built MTP® trunk assemblies tailored to meet your specific networking requirements. You can choose from:

  • Fiber Type: OM3, OM4, or Single-Mode (SM)

  • Polarity: Type A, B, or C

  • Connector Type: Standard or Elite MTP®

  • Jacket Type: Plenum or Riser rated

  • Length: Custom lengths to fit your installation needs

These custom MTP® trunk assemblies ensure high-performance, efficient cable management, and seamless integration into your network infrastructure.

Can These MTP® Assemblies Be Used In Riser Spaces?

Yes! MTP® trunk assemblies can be used in riser spaces when they have a riser-rated (OFNR) jacket. Riser-rated cables are designed for vertical runs between floors and meet fire safety standards to prevent the spread of flames. While they do not have the low-smoke properties of plenum-rated cables, they are safe for use in non-plenum areas such as cable risers, shafts, and enclosed vertical pathways in buildings. Always ensure you choose the appropriate jacket type (Plenum or Riser) based on building codes and installation requirements.
