As industries and businesses embrace digital transformation, the demand for 5G networks will keep growing. Fiber network infrastructure, including MTP OM5 trunk cables, is one of the key elements contributing to the success of 5G network technology. To understand the MTP OM5 trunk cable and why it's popular on 5G networks, read this article for more information
What is MTP OM5 Trunk Cable?
MTP OM5 trunk cable is a multi-mode fiber optic cable that uses a high-density MTP connector. This connector can accommodate up to 288 individual fibers and effectively save the space of high-density wiring, making it an ideal solution for data centers. MTP OM5 trunk cable has a clearly defined EMB(Effective Modal Bandwidth) and fiber cable attenuation that performs across at least four low-cost wavelengths from 840 nm to 953nm. It provides optimal support for SWDM (Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing) applications that reduce the amount of fibers needed for high-speed transmissions. In addition, the MTP OM5 trunk cable is backward compatible with MTP OM3 and OM4 cable at 850 nm, and it supports all legacy applications. MTP OM5 trunk cable is available in 12 and 24-fiber types. MTP-12 fibers OM5 trunk cables are used to establish high-performance 10/40/100G connections. With 24 fibers in a single MTP connector, MTP-24 provides additional density versus three MPO-8 or two MPO12 connectors, which shortens the cleaning and inspection time.
Why is MTP OM5 Trunk Cable Popular on 5G Network Applications?
MTP OM5 trunk cable provides high bandwidth, reliability, and low latency requirements for 5G applications such as autonomous driving, Internet of Things (IoT), and augmented reality (AR). These advanced applications generate enormous amounts of data that necessitate real-time and reliable connections. MTP OM5 trunk cable minimizes waste, optimizes cable management and speed deployment, and improves flexibility and manageability for lower installation costs. Furthermore, the MTP OM5 trunk cable can offer longer connections without significant loss, particularly when combined with SWDM technology.
Key Features
MTP OM5 trunk cable provides the following key features:
1. Low insertion loss and cost
2. High return loss, reliability, and flexibility
3. High-density MTP connector and stable signal transmission
4. Factory pre-terminated and tested
5. OM5 wideband multi-mode fiber (WBMMF) is fully backward compatible with OM3 and OM4
6. Bend insensitive fiber and OFNP jacket
Applications
MTP OM5 trunk cable is used in data centers, 5G networks, storage area networks, communications rooms, edge computing, industry 4.0, telecom networks, backbone networks, CATV, LAN, etc.
Conclusion
MTP OM5 trunk cable, a cost-effective alternative to time-consuming field termination, is designed for high-density fiber patching in data centers, which need space saving and reduce cable management troubles. With its high-speed transmission, low latency, and simple deployment, the MTP OM5 trunk cable is an ideal choice for 5G technology and future innovations in networking technology, such as edge computing and Industry 4.0.
