How to select a suitable optical fiber cabling Solution

Iimax®Solutions has rich experience in optical fiber cabling and LazrSPEED®High-performance products such as TeraSPEEDTM, InstaPATCHTM Plus, and LC connector. After years of research, the IMAX Laboratory analyzed the cost of the complete Optical Fiber System and concluded that the optimization of NM applications on Multi-Mode Optical Fiber enables the most benefits to users, the second is the application of 1300 nm on single-mode optical fiber.
It is worth mentioning that SYSTIMAX LazrSPEED®Multimode Optical fiber specification has been recognized as TIA-492AAAC-A laser optimized multimode optical fiber specification, also known as ISO/IEC 1181 OM3 optical fiber), and its test method is also known as FOTP-220 TIA IEC-60793-1-49 internationally) A blueprint for the test method. As a pioneer in the industry, based on the cutting-edge test and modeling of the IMAX laboratory, the product guarantee and application guarantee of Imax SCS for up to 20 years provide the widest support for optical fiber applications.
Multi-mode optical fiber is a multi-path transmission medium. Its bandwidth depends on the path or mode. The initial path is determined by the transmitter's enabling conditions. Full bandwidth is generally used for laser transmitters over 155 Mb/s. The minimum bandwidth capacity is low because the conditions for enabling these transmitters vary greatly, generally, there is no overflow condition. RML bandwidth also suffers from the same problem. The study of the rml experiment developed concluded that it is only applicable to 62.5 μm optical fibers and is valid only when used together with transmitters meeting specific activation conditions. The bandwidth obtained by the same Optical Fiber Using RML or other methods may be far greater than 2000 MHz-km, but its DMD laser bandwidth is less than 2000 MHz-km. Therefore, if you use an affordable 850 nm laser to optimize multimode optical fiber, the only method that correctly predicts the minimum Laser bandwidth.
Of course, some manufacturers also associate extended distance support with multimode optical fiber 1300 nm transceiver, such as 1000BASE-LX. Users need to install 1300 nm reinforced Multimode Optical Fiber to support 1000BASE-LX, while 1000BASE-LX is originally produced for single-mode optical fiber. The reason why the multimode solution is used to replace the single-mode solution is that the overall cost of the multimode solution is low, rather than the low cost of the optical fiber. When using a 1300 nm enhanced multimode optical fiber, not only does the cost of the optical fiber not decrease, but also requires more expensive photoelectric equipment, which simply fails to meet the cost reduction requirements. The support distance of 1000BASE-LX on single-mode optical fiber is much longer than that on multi-mode optical fiber, at least 5 kilometers.
You should select an appropriate Optical Fiber System Based on the cabling distance. For example, for the Construction backbone network and short-range campus network, the LazrSPEED multimode optical fiber system can be used in the 850 nm window. The LazrSPEED 550 supports 550 m for 10 Gigabit applications and 1100 m for gigabit applications; lazrSPEED 300 supports 300 m for 10 Gigabit applications and 1000 m for 1 Gigabit applications; LazrSPEED 150 supports 150 m for 10 Gigabit applications and 800 m for 1 Gigabit applications ); teraSPEED single-mode optical fiber can be used for cabling applications that exceed the distance supported by LazrSPEED.
All in all, an optimized multi-mode optical fiber infrastructure solution that supports 850 nm applications and the selective use of single-mode optical fiber is the best way to achieve a solid and economical fiber infrastructure. In China, this configuration method has been accepted and accepted by many users. For example, the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center chose TeraSPEED single-mode optical fiber cable as the trunk and LazrSPEED550 as the trunk backup to support long-distance 10g applications; for the 10-Gigabit to desktop Optical Fiber System, select LazrSPEED150.
