摘要

France's Nexans has launched the recently standardised OM5 multimode fibre for high speed networks, with the product available on request.OM5 fibres are specified in the upcoming versions of the IEC and ISO 11801 standards as an additional multimode fibre for Enterprise and Data Centre networks. In an international standards ballot that closed on October 5, 2016, OM5 was chosen by an overwhelming majority of nations as the official designation for cabling containing WideBand Multimode Fibre in the upcoming 3rd edition of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, or ISO/IEC 11801. This is an important milestone in standards progress and for market acceptance of this new and revolutionary fibre cabling performance category. It extends the benefits of multimode fibre within connected and efficient buildings and within data centres worldwide.
