High-Performance Multimode Fiber
OFS multimode fibers offer the most economical solutions and widest performance ranges available for all types of networks. These fibers support legacy, low bit-rate systems, while providing same-fiber upgrade to the latest high speed 1- and 10-Gigabit networks. OFS multimode fibers are the best choice for Local Area Networks, Storage Area Networks, Equipment Rooms, Data Centers, and Central Offices.

Special Use Multimode Fibers
OFS' special-use multimode fibers support industry needs for demanding applications in military, aerospace, and industrial sectors. OFS offers 100/140 µm graded index multimode fiber that provides for maximum coupling efficiency, as well as highly durable fibers having a larger, 500 µm, protective primary coating. Our radiation hardened multimode fibers are designed for applications where exposure to radiation would cause optical signal loss in conventional products. All these fibers are available in 50/125 µm and 62.5/125 µm graded index multimode designs. OFS' special-use fibers are manufactured with the same state-of-the-art processes and exacting specifications as our other fiber designs.

Multimode Fiber Coating
Enhanced multimode fiber coating from OFS improves cable performance in all networks. Minimized attenuation for tight-buffer designs. Outstanding performance under all operating conditions. Easy to strip and install.
