Built for Your Application
Whether you're building a high-performance data center, multi-floor network deployment, or interconnecting multiple buildings, this OM5 fiber is designed to meet the needs of both high-speed backbone connections and fiber rack terminations. Its indoor/outdoor versatility makes it a flexible choice, especially when transitions between outdoor environments (e.g., underground conduit) and indoor spaces (e.g., plenum-rated areas) are required. With Corning® optical fibers, you can expect exceptional signal clarity and consistent performance.
This Fiber-By-Foot offering ensures that you receive the precise length you need for each installation, reducing waste and saving costs. If you require a smoother, quicker installation process, we also offer the option to include pulling eyes—ideal for difficult or long-distance cable pulls.

FAQ
What is the difference between OM5 and other multimode fibers?
OM5 is the latest standard in multimode fiber designed to support high-speed Ethernet connections over greater distances. It offers superior bandwidth and lower attenuation than OM3 or OM4, making it ideal for 10G, 40G, 100G, and even 400G networks.
Can I use this cable for both indoor and outdoor applications?
Yes, this Indoor/Outdoor OM5 cable is designed for both types of installations. The UV-resistant outer jacket and water-blocking features make it ideal for outdoor environments, while its plenum-rated jacket ensures it meets fire safety requirements for indoor use.
What is the pulling eye option, and do I need it?
A pulling eye is a device installed on the cable to assist in pulling the cable through long or tight spaces, such as conduit. It can be especially useful for long-distance runs or difficult installations.
Can I order this cable in custom lengths?
While we offer this cable by the foot, it is a stock item and not customizable in terms of strand count or length beyond the 10-foot to 5000-foot options. If you require a fully customized solution, please check our other product categories for options.
What applications can this fiber be used for?
This fiber is designed for use in data centers, backbone networks, multi-floor installations, campus networks, and other high-bandwidth applications. It is ideal for interconnecting devices, switches, and patch panels over short to long distances.
