Multimode fiber is generally divided into OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5, they represent different characteristics and application methods, this article will start from the application analysis of OM1.


1. OM1 multi-mode fiber standards


OM1 multimode fiber is one of the first standards used in fiber optic communication systems. With a core diameter of 62.5 microns, it is commonly used for short-range transmission, such as local area networks (Lans) and internal enterprise networks. OM1 fiber is based on common LED light sources, and its short transmission distance makes it suitable for low-cost application scenarios.


Core diameter: 62.5 microns


Wavelength: 850 nm (infrared range)


Bandwidth: 160 MHz/km


Transfer rate: 1 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s

The relatively large core diameter of OM1 fiber limits its bandwidth and transmission rate, so it may not perform well in scenarios where high-speed data transmission requirements are high. However, in some applications, especially cost-sensitive ones, OM1 is still a suitable choice.


2. OM1 Application Scenarios

1, Local Area Network (LAN) : due to its low cost and sufficient performance, OM1 multi-mode fiber is widely used in the local area network of enterprises and organizations to connect various devices and servers.


2, Fiber to the desktop (FTTD) : In the need to introduce fiber to the office or work area, OM1 fiber is also often used for fiber to the desktop deployment, providing high bandwidth connections.

Although OM1 multimode fiber has advantages in some specific applications, its relatively low bandwidth and transmission rate limit its application in high-speed data transmission environments.
