Multimode Fiber Optics OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4

Multimode fibers are identified by the OM (“optical mode”) designation as outlined in the ISO/IEC 11801 standard.

OM1 cable typically comes with an orange jacket and has a core size of 62.5 micrometers (µm). It can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up 33 meters. It is most commonly used for 100 Megabit Ethernet applications.

OM2 also has a suggested jacket color of orange. Its core size is 50µm instead of 62.5µm. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 82 meters but is more commonly used for 1 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

OM3 has a suggested jacket color of aqua. Like OM2, its core size is 50µm. OM3 supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 300 meters. Besides OM3 is able to support 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters. 10 Gigabit Ethernet is its most common use.

OM4 also has a suggested jacket color of aqua. It is a further improvement to OM3. It also uses a 50µm core but it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up 550 meters and it supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 150 meters.

OM identified by colors

OM4 is Erika Violet color
OM3 is Aqua color

How do they manage to find underwater broken fiber optics cable?

Perhaps you are wondering how to locate and splice underwater broken / damaged fiber optics subsea cable?


This video shows a simple way but it may not be that easy on the open sea... 



The other method is using the most expensive method whereby an underwater Remote Operating Vehicle (ROV) is utilised to locate damaged subsea fiber optics cable

How undersea fiber optics cable is installed

Undersea fiber optics cable is the one that connected cyber world from one country to another countries. Perhaps without underseas fiber optics cable, the world is still at infancy stage in terms of communicating from one continent to another continent.


Some people is still thinking that we are still using satellite or wireless system or even perhaps microwave system for internet connection.. 

Luminous Fiber Optics Uniform Team..

It is a must for a team of pulling or installation fiber optics to wear luminous safety jacket & safety hard hats.


Why nobody has designed luminous fiber optics uniform for fiber optics pulling team instead of luminous safety jacket? May be cost is the main factor..


Perhaps we could design fiber optics uniform team for both male and female workers..

That easy to tap fiber optics?

Just by wearing a hardhat & safety jacket, anybody can just tap fiber optics anywhere anytime.. A secured system that not so secured at all..

Presumably Impossible without Fiber Optics?

Our futuristic life best illustrated by the above video by Corning..

What would we do if our glass daily schedule being interrupted by power failure or by lighting strike?
