TIA-492AAAD

 

OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 and OS1, OS2 Fiber

In ANSI/TIA-568-C.3, the TIA adopted the nomenclature for fiber found in the international standard ISO/IEC 11801. The multimode fiber is prefixed with “OM” and the singlemode mode “OS”.

The new designation in ANSI/TIA-568-C.3 should alleviate some of the confusion associated with application support distance issues. Each “OM” has a minimum Modal Bandwidth (MBW) requirement.

Why two values? What’s the difference between overfilled and effective? Overfilled is with an LED source, effective is with a VCSEL. New vs old. Loss length testing to ISO/IEC must be done with an LED and should be done with an LED for TIA testing.

* The IEEE has yet to officially give a distance for 10GBASE-S on OM4 fiber. The distances are decided by the IEEE in 802.3, not the TIA or ISO/IEC cabling standards. Some glass vendors say 500 m, but most are now quoting “up to 550 m”.

Cautionary note: In ANSI/TIA-568-B.3, the modal bandwidth of 62.5 µm fiber was 160 MHz.km, not the 200 MHz.km found in the current ANSI/TIA-568-C.3. This change was done to harmonize with ISO/IEC 11801. That would reduce the distance for 1000BASE-SX to 220 m and 10GBASE-S to 26 m.

There is also a loss limit associated with these distances too.

So in your design, you have to take into account BOTH distance and loss to ensure your application will work. OM4 fiber needs a reduced fiber loss in order to support 100GBASE-SR10 to 125 m.

* The values above for OM4 are taken from TIA-492AAAD. This is a minimum requirement. Some vendors are quoting 2.3 dB/km. Check with your vendor and work with them carefully on the design of the fiber plant.
