om1 fiber distance
The distance of the OM1 fiber refers to the greatest distance over which a user can effectively transmit data without excessive signal degradation. Three Major Functions of OM1 fiberOptical fibres are called OM1 for short.OM1 technology, however, is not only light in weight;it also provides high speed data transmission, video streaming as well as voice communication at FDDI speeds. As a multi-mode fiber, OM1’s core diameter is 62.5 micrometers. It can be used in data centers and short-distance network within buildings. OM1 fiber has a typical bandwidth of 200 MHz*km. The user can choose either LED or laser transmitters for this fiber; but its maximum distance is less than that of single-mode fibers.Common applications include Gigabit Ethernet, telephony systems and premises distribution where reliable communications over relatively short distances are essential factors in choosing--cost-effective technologies that will meet their needs.
