OM5 – multimode fiber

OM5 – the first multimode fibre for wavelength multiplexing
Up to now, multimode fibres were operated only in a narrow band at 850 nm or 1300 nm. The new fibre type OM5 with excellent transmission properties in a band of 100 nm has been developed to satisfy the rapidly increasing need for more and more bandwidth: four wavelengths can be transmit simultaneously in the range of 850 to 950 nm with the so-called wavelength multiplexing.

SWDM
The key term is “Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing” (SWDM), a procedure allowing a transmission performance four times higher than possible up to now. 40 GBit/s are transmitted with four wavelengths of 10 GBit/s each on a send and a receive fibre; or even 100 GBit/s with 4 times 25 GBit/s.
