WideBand OM5 Bend Insensitive Multimode Fibre is a 50µm laser-optimized multimode fibre designed for short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications. Unlike traditional OM4 fibre with high bandwidth performance in a narrow band centred at 850nm, WideBand OM5 Bend Insensitive Multimode Fibre delivers OM4 performance in the 850-950nm window while maintaining compatibility with current multimode fibres.

WideBand OM5 and multi-wavelength transceivers are a viable solution for future 100Gb/s and 400Gb/s multiwavelength systems. WideBand OM5 Bend Insensitive Multimode Fibre complies with or exceeds ISO/IEC 11801 OM5 specification, IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.4 Optical Fibre Specification, and TIA/EIA-492AAAE detail specification.
