After talking about OM1 multimode fiber, let's move on to OM2 multimode fiber, and this article will continue to introduce the characteristics and applications of OM2, as well as a simple comparison with OM1.
1. Analysis of OM2 multimode optical fiber
OM2 multimode fiber is an upgrade standard in the OM series with an improved core diameter compared to OM1. With a core diameter of 50 microns, OM2 fibers are suitable for short-distance transmission scenarios that require higher bandwidth.
Core diameter: 50 μm.
Wavelength: 850 nm (infrared range).
Bandwidth: 500 MHz km
Transfer rate: 1 Gbits to 10 Gbits
Compared to OM1, OM2 multimode fiber has a smaller core diameter and significantly higher bandwidth, making it more suitable for high-speed data transmission. OM2 fibers also use LED light sources for short-range, medium-speed applications.
2. Comparison between OM1 and OM2
1. Bandwidth: The bandwidth of OM2 is significantly higher than that of OM1, which is suitable for higher rate data transmission.
2. Cost: OM2 is slightly more expensive than OM1, but it may be more cost-effective in some scenarios with higher performance requirements.
3. OM2 application scenarios

1. Enterprise network: OM2 multimode fiber is often used to connect data centers, servers, and other network equipment within the enterprise to provide higher bandwidth support.
2. Campus network: University campus networks usually need to handle a large amount of data traffic, and the high bandwidth characteristics of OM2 fiber make it a common choice for campus networks.
