What are the different types of multimode optical fiber cables
There are five main types of multimode fiber, standardized by ISO/IEC 11801: OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 and OM5. It also lists the key technical requirements for each type. These differences include the maximum distance and speed. There are several kinds of multimode fiber types available for high-speed network installations, and each with a different reach and data-rate capability. With so many options, it can be tough to select the most suitable multimode fiber. This is made possible by its relatively large core diameter, typically 50 or 62.
