QuickNetTM OM4 and OM5 Signature CoreTM MTP* Fiber Optic Cassettes SPECIFICATION SHEET general information QuickNetTM OM4 and OM5 Signature CoreTM MTP* Fiber Optic Cassettes comply with IEEE 802.3ae 10 GbE and ANSI T11.2 Fibre Channel requirements. QuickNetTM Signature CoreTM MTP* Fiber Optic Cassettes employ high performance 12-fiber MTP* connectivity on the rear of the units routed to discrete SC or LC connectivity on the front. Colors for OM4 and OM5 shall follow respectively TIA/ EIA-568-C.3 and TIA 568.3 -D suggested color identification scheme. They interconnect with high-density SFF MTP* ribbon interconnect cable assemblies. High-density cassette patch panels shall hold up to 8 cassettes, allowing up to 96 fiber connections to be deployed in one rack unit (1 RU). technical information OM4 and OM5 Signature CoreTM Fibers are modal and chromatic dispersion compensating multi-mode fibers designed for optimum performance with high-speed Vertical Cavity Surfacing Emitting Lasers (VCSEL) transceivers. The refractive index profile is engineered to correct for the interaction between modal and chromatic dispersion increasing the total channel bandwidth. Like OM3 and OM4 fiber types, the actual supported reach for Signature CoreTM Fiber family depends on the electrical and optical characteristics of the VCSEL transceiver1. OM4 Signature CoreTM provides you on average 20% longer reach than OM4 defined standard for all applications using Ethernet, Fibre Channel and Cisco BiDi technologies. For example, the OM4 Signature CoreTM Fiber will support a 600m reach with 10GBASE-SR transceivers compared to a 400m maximum reach over OM4 as specified in IEEE 802.32. OM5 Signature CoreTM provides you on average 15% longer reach than OM5 defined standard for all applications that use Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM). SWDM is a technology that boosts transmission capacity by sending multiple signals in four wavelengths across the 850nm to 940nm on a single fiber. OM4 and OM5 Signature CoreTM Fibers are 100% standards compliant meeting all OM3 and OM4 specifications, with an additional requirement for Differential Mode Delay (DMD) that compensates for modal and chromatic dispersion effects4. OM5 Signature CoreTM includes additional bandwidth characterization at 953 nm to support extended distances when using SWDM. application Allows system designers to tailor configuration, reach and breakout construction to application requirements; to minimize waste, optimize cable management, speed deployment, and improve flexibility and manageability for lower installation costs. construction Fiber types: Fiber count: Split sleeve material: Link loss: environmental properties Signature Core OM4+ 50/125m Signature CoreTM OM5+ 50/125m TM 12 or 24 Zirconia ceramic: Signature Core OM4+ Zirconia ceramic: Signature Core OM5+ Signature CoreTM OM4+ Ultra Low: 0.35dB Signature CoreTM OM5+ Ultra Low: 0.35dB Operating temperature: 0C to +70C Storage and shipping temperature: -40C to +70C Installation temperature 0C to +60C standards Connectivity meets or exceeds TIA/EIA-568-C.3 and TIA 568.3-D performance requirements for respectively OM4 and OM5 defined standards ROHS 2002/95/EC: Compliant The actual channel reach of a laser optimized, multimode fi ber (OM3, OM4, or Signature CoreTM) depends on the optical and electrical parameters of the VCSEL transceiver. For worst-case optical and electrical parameters, Signature CoreTM Fiber will provide at least 20% greater reach over standards un-compensated OM4 fi ber. 2 OM4 fi ber was ratifi ed in the IEEE802.3/D3.0 proceedings from 15-Dec-2011, Table 52-6 with an operating range of 2 to 400 meters. 3 Reach values are a minimum. 4 Differential Mode Delay (DMD) is a metric defi ned in telecommunications industry association standard EIA/TIA 455-220-A, January 2003, which describes a method for measuring the modal dispersion of laser optimized multimode mode fiber. *MTP is a registered trademark of US Conec Ltd. 5 OM5 fiber has been approved as the new wideband multimode standard on June 2016, by ANSI/TIA-492AAAE 1 w w w . pa n d u it.c o m QuickNetTM OM4 and OM5 Signature CoreTM MTP* Fiber Optic Cassettes part number configurator Character 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Example F C 2 S A - 1 2 - 1 0 A S 1 - Fiber Product F = Fiber 2 - Product Type H = HD FlexTM C = OpticomTM Cassette 3 - Generation 2 = 2nd generation technology 4 - Fiber Type S = Signature CoreTM OM4+ fiber available with ultra low loss only W = Signature CoreTM OM5+ fiber available with ultra low loss only 5 - Performance A = Ultra low loss 6 - Dash 7 & 8 - Fiber Count 12 = 12 fiber total 24 = 24 fiber total 9 - Dash 10 & 11 - Connector Type 10 = Duplex LC adapter 12 & 13 - Polarity AS = Method A AF = Modified Method A, pair flipped BN = Method B QuickNetTM OM4 and OM5 Signature CoreTM MTP* Fiber Optic Cassettes 3.5 [89] 3.5 [88] 4.9 REF.
