Network Fundamentals

What is one similarity between OM3 and OM4 fiber optic cable?

  • A Both have a 62.5 micron core diameter.
  • B Both have a 100 micron core diameter.
  • C Both have a 50 micron core diameter.
  • D Both have a 9 micron core diameter.
Explanation

OM3 and OM4 are both multimode fiber standards built around a 50/125 µm construction, so they share the same 50 micron core diameter. Their differences are in performance characteristics such as bandwidth and reach, not the core size. Official vendor documentation and industry references describe OM3 and OM4 as 50 µm-core multimode fiber.
