FAQ

Q1: OM3 vs OM4 vs OM5: what’s the difference?

A1: OM3, OM4, and OM5 are all multimode fibers, but their performance differs:

  • OM3: commonly used for 10G/40G links, cost-effective for most data center deployments.
  • OM4: supports longer distance at higher speeds (especially 40G/100G), widely adopted for enterprise data centers.
  • OM5: optimized for SWDM (shortwave wavelength division multiplexing), designed for higher efficiency in specific 100G/200G use cases.

For most B2B projects, OM4 is the best balance of cost and performance, while OM5 is selected mainly when SWDM optics are required.

Q2: What’s your MOQ and lead time for custom fiber assemblies?

A2: MOQ and lead time depend on connector type, cable structure, and customization requirements.

Typical manufacturing terms:

  • Sample lead time: 3–7 days
  • Mass production lead time: 10–20 days
  • Custom labeling/packaging may add extra time

For project-based orders, we can provide production scheduling and partial shipment options.Contack us for more information!

Q3: APC vs UPC connectors: how to choose?

A3: UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors have a flat polished end face and are widely used in data centers, enterprise networks, and standard fiber patching.APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors have an 8° angled polish that significantly reduces back reflection, making them preferred for CATV, FTTH, and high-precision optical networks.Choose UPC for most Ethernet/data center applications. Choose APC when low return loss is critical.

Q4: What insertion loss is acceptable for fiber patch cords?

A4: Typical insertion loss standards for high-quality fiber patch cords are:

  • ≤ 0.3 dB (standard grade)
  • ≤ 0.2 dB (low loss grade)
  • ≤ 0.15 dB (ultra low loss, premium assemblies)

Actual acceptance criteria depend on the overall link budget. For data centers and high-speed transmission, low-loss patch cords are recommended to maintain stable performance.
