According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) standards, optical fiber communication bands can be systematically divided into multiple bands: O, E, S, C, L, and U. Multi-mode optical fiber is a type of optical fiber mostly used for communication over short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. This Applications Engineering Note (AE Note) discusses the criteria for properly selecting the optimal multimode fiber (MMF) for enterprise applications. Multimode Fiber (MMF) has a core diameter, typically 50–100 micrometers, has ability to transfer multiple modes of light through the fiber core, uses lower-cost electronics (LED, VCSEL) operates at. Panduit OM2 and laser‐optimized OM3, OM4 and Signature CoreTM multimode fibers exceed domestic and international standards for optical fiber, including TIA‐492AAAB, TIA‐492AAAC, TIA‐492AAAD and IEC 60793‐2‐10.
