Multimode Fiber Patch Cords | OM1 / OM2 / OM3 / OM4 / OM5 Options

Our multimode fiber patch cords are crafted for superior optical performance and reliability in modern network environments—from data centers to enterprise and industrial setups. Available in OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, and OM5 fiber grades, you get access to varied bandwidth and reach options. Connectors include LC, SC, FC, and ST in simplex and duplex configurations, with uniboot and armored designs for density and durability. All cords are fully tested for low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring smooth connectivity every time.

Why Choose Our Multimode Patch Cords

Wide Range of Fiber Grades: Supports OM1 to OM5 for flexible performance and future-ready upgrades.

Low Loss & High Quality: Precision-polished connectors deliver consistent optical performance across runs.

Density Optimization: Uniboot designs minimize cable clutter in high-density panels, while armored options protect in harsh or high-traffic areas.

Safety Rated Jackets: Choose from LSZH, PVC, or fire-rated OFNR/OFNP based on application and code needs.

OEM/ODM Capabilities: Customize color, print, length, and packaging to match your brand or deployment plan.

Product Options

OM1–OM5 Simplex & Duplex Jumpers

Use Cases: Standard backbone and patch panel applications.

High-Density Uniboot LC Jumpers

One cable with dual fibers for LC connectors, designed to reduce congestion and improve airflow in dense racks.

Use Cases: High-density racks, telecom rooms, data centers.

Armored Patch Cords

Built with stainless steel or spiral armor beneath the jacket for enhanced protection in floor ducts, labs, or industrial environments.

Use Cases: Areas with high physical risk or frequent handling.

Custom Assemblies Available

Support includes custom polarity, breakout lengths, labeling, coiled packaging, and more for tailored deployments.

Use Cases: Pre-labeled racks, migration planning, branded infrastructure projects.

Selection Guide

Legacy Applications: OM1 or OM2 where older equipment is used.

10G to 40G Networks: OM3 or OM4 for future expansion and better performance.

Future-Proofing: OM5 supports SWDM for emerging high-speed links.

Dense Environments: Choose uniboot LC jumpers to save space, or armored cords for protection in busy areas.

Customization & Services

Custom options include jacket color, print, labeling, breakout lengths, polarity, and packaging to fit your rollout plan or brand guidelines.

Fast fulfillment is available with common configurations in stock and expedited production on custom orders. We support staged deliveries for large-scale deployments.

Our engineering team can assist with link budget planning, modality migration (e.g., OM3 to OM4), and high-speed network migration (e.g., preparing for 100/400G upgrades).

Ordering Information

Please specify: Fiber grade (OM1–OM5) + Connector type & quantity (e.g., LC/SC FC/ST) + Configuration (simplex/duplex/uniboot/armored) + Jacket material (LSZH/PVC/OFNR/OFNP) + Length + Color + Polarity + Any labeling or packaging instructions.

FAQ

Q1: Which multimode fiber grade should I choose?

OM3/OM4 is recommended for most 10G–100G networks due to superior bandwidth and reach. Use OM1/OM2 for legacy links, and OM5 if you are planning SWDM-based future upgrades.

Q2: Sample available?

Yes.

Q3: Can I get report per jumper?

Definitely. We can include insertion loss, return loss, and endface inspection data tied to individual serial numbers or labels on each jumper.

Q4: What about fire-rated jackets? Which type is required?

Plenum spaces require OFNP; risers require OFNR. LSZH is ideal for enclosed or international installations with low-smoke requirements. PVC suits general use in non-critical environments.

Q5: Can I customize colors and labeling for each length?

Absolutely. Custom colors, prints, leg-labeling, QR codes, and coiling per rack order can be arranged based on project needs.

Q6: How fast do custom patch cords ship?

Stock options ship quickly. Custom builds typically ship within 1–2 weeks, and scheduled staged deliveries are available for large rollouts.
