Identified by its distinctive aqua jacket, OM4 fiber offers increased bandwidth, supporting data speeds of 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, and even 100 Gbps over short to medium distances. Optimized for compatibility with vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), it minimizes modal dispersion, ensuring. OM3, OM4, and OM5 are types of multi-mode optical fibres commonly used in data centres and enterprise environments to support various network speeds and transmission distances, including 10 gigabit Ethernet (10G), 40 gigabit Ethernet (40G), 100 gigabit Ethernet (100G) and 400 gigabit Ethernet. OM4 fiber represents the pinnacle of multimode fiber optic technology, designed specifically for high-speed data transmission in modern network infrastructures. This laser-optimized fiber features an enhanced modal bandwidth of 4700 MHz. Typically, OM3 fiber is used for 10G Ethernet and can make connections up to 220 meters long. When using low cost 850 nm Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) transceivers.
