We define the bandwidth requirements for OM4 performance within the wavelength window of 850 to 950nm. We have manufactured a MMF meeting these requirements while maintaining full compatibility with legacy OM4. This MMF enables 400Gbps using wavelength division multiplexing.
IntroductionMultimode fibers (MMFs) have constantly evolved from the very beginning of optical communications industry through the recent and on-going explosion of the Ethernet traffic. Enabled by VCSEL technology and OM4 level performance, MMFs have proved to be the medium of choice for data communications, delivering reliable and cost-effective 10 to 100Gbps solutions.In order to meet the future increase of demand, the MMF capacity will ultimately have to be increased
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
