Product Details

Bend-Insensitive 850 nm Laser-Optimized 50 3m MaxCap-BB-OM2 / OM2+ / OM3 / OM4 Multimode Fibre for 40 and 100 Gb/s applications.

Draka 850 nm laser-optimized 50 3m bend-insensitive multimode fibre (MaxCap-BB-OMx) has been designed in quality classes OM2, OM2+, OM3 and OM4 fibre. The outstanding bending performance of this fibre combines improved fibre and cable management with superior bandwidth (low DMD) for 10, 40 and 100 Gb/s system applications. The eminent bending performance of robust MaxCap-BB-OMx fibres is based on the large know-how built up developing Draka world-acclaimed Bend-Insensitive single-mode fibres BendBright-XS and BendBright-Elite. This BendBright technology is referred to in the title of this product by the abbreviation BB.

MaxCap-BB-OMx fibres support compact cable management and allow more easily MACs (Moves, Adds, Changes) applied in Local Area Networks (LAN) backbones up to 550 m (10GBASE-SX) and in Data Centres up to 150 m at 40G/100G bitrates (40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR10). The MaxCap-BB-OMx multimode fibres are produced by the proprietary Plasmaactivated Chemical Vapour Deposition process (PCVD), acknowledged worldwide as offering the best core profile accuracy for multimode fibres.

Standards references: The MaxCap-BB-OM2 and OM2+ and MaxCap-BB-OM3 / OM4 multimode fibres types entirely comply with or exceed IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.1 / A1a.2 / A1a.3 Optical Fiber Specification, ISO/IEC 11801 OM2 / OM3 / OM4 specification, TIA/EIA- 492AAAB / 492AAAC / 492AAAD detail specification and Telcordia GR-20-CORE and GR-409-CORE specifications.

Features:
• MaxCap-BB-OM2 / OM2+ / OM3 / OM4 high bandwidth capability is combined with extremely low bending sensitivity
• MaxCap-BB-OM2 / OM2+ / OM3 / OM4 low bending sensitivity
• MaxCap-BB-OM2+ / OM3 / OM4 fulfill both EMB and DMD requirements; also a tighter inner-DMD mask (0 – 18 3m) is used
• Coated with the dual layer UV Acrylate

Advantages:
• Margins in 10 Gb/s (and beyond) systems, supported by high bandwidth OM2 / OM2+ / OM3 / OM4 are further improved by additional low bending loss, offering more relaxed and easier installations and MACs (Moves, Adds, Changes)
• Allows use of smaller, high density fibre management systems, as key issue in limited space data centres, computer rooms and LANs. Overall system network reliability (uptime) is improved thanks to the reduction of system impairments due to tight bends introduced by humane mistakes
• Compared to the standards (and competitors) Draka’s MaxCap-BB-OMx fibres ultimately offer additional robustness in 10Gb/s and beyond systems
• MaxCap-BB-OMx multimode fibres show excellent microbending behaviour, resulting in easy cabling and installation, supporting a max. cabled attenuation of 3.0 dB/km at 850 nm
