The primary differences between OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 multi-mode fiber involve core size, bandwidth capability, supported transmission distance, and maximum data rate. Higher-grade multimode fibers support faster speeds and longer reach for modern high-bandwidth networking environments. OM2 is a practical choice for enterprise multimode networks requiring dependable 1 Gbps performance and longer reach than OM1.
