October 7, 2009 Corning Cable Systems says its Pretium 550 cable solutions are OM4 compliant, meeting the new standard for laser-optimized, high-bandwidth, 50-micron fibers approved by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) in August 2009. Bandwidth requirements for the new OM4 standard are identical to OM3 with the exception of the 850-nm values; at this point, both the laser-based effective modal bandwidth (EMB) and the legacy overfilled launch (OFL) bandwidth are increased from the OM3 requirements. The increased EMB bandwidth supplements system margin and extends distance for 10G in addition to 40G and 100G. Video applications, virtualization and convergence are driving the need for higher data rates and the subsequent new standard, says Corning, adding that OM4-compliant cabling solutions provide a pathway to futureproof networks and ensure that bandwidth requirements are met or exceeded.
