OFNR Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser
Proudly Made In The USA
Assembled in Phoenix Arizona
Multimode fiber started with OM1 orange 62.5 µm core size & all was good @ 10 Gbps
out to 33m max.
Then along came OM2, also orange, with a 50µm core. OM2 was good @ 10 Gbps out
to 82m max but was NOT backwards compatible with OM1 and the jacket looked the same!
Not good.
Next came OM3 aqua 50µm but was laser optimized @ 10 Gbps out to 300m & @ 100
Gbps out to 100m. It was aqua so it stood out from OM2.
All good.
Now along comes OM4. Also 50µm and laser optimized and backwards compatible with
OM3 but was good @ 10 Gbps out to 550m & @ 100Gbps it was good out to 150m.
Alas, the TIA did not specify a new color for OM4, they left it as aqua!
Not good.
However, in Europe they chose to differentiate OM4 from OM3 by choosing violet for OM4.
That made sense to us, so now Gruber offers Made In The USA OM4 in violet.
SEE THE SPEED!
