This fiber is a laser-optimized, bend-insensitive, graded-index multimode fiber designed for transmission speeds of 10 Gb/s and beyond. Corning® ClearCurve® OM5 wide band optical fiber is designed to support Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) operation over 850 – 953 nm wavelengths while offering the same bandwidth specifications at 850 nm as Corning® ClearCurve® OM4 optical fiber. Each one is built for specific bandwidth and distance needs. They differ in core size, light source types, and what they can transmit. Apart from the OM1 type, all of them are bending-optimized fiber incorporating technology to deliver enhanced macro-bending performance produced by a unique Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition. ISP = Inside plant, OSP = Outside plant (Applicable to TIA only) While OM5 has similar performance values to OM4 for Insertion Loss and Distances supported, it has a special characteristic that differentiates it.
