Long-distance: Telecom, ISP backbones, CATV, MANs (10s to 1000s of km).

OM1

62.5 µm

Orange

200 MHz·km

Not supported

Legacy installations (1990s). Limited to 1 Gigabit up to ~275m.

OM2

50 µm

Orange

500 MHz·km

Not supported

Basic 1 Gigabit Ethernet up to ~550m. Being phased out.

OM3

50 µm

Aqua

Not primary

1500 MHz·km

First laser-optimized (LOMMF). 10 GbE up to 300m. Standard for modern 10G data centers.

OM4

50 µm

Aqua

Not primary

3500 MHz·km

Enhanced OM3. 10 GbE up to 400m, 40/100 GbE up to 150m. High-speed data center backbone.

OM5

50 µm

Lime Green

Not primary

3500+ MHz·km (but optimized for Short-Wavelength Division Multiplexing - SWDM).

Designed for multi-wavelength transmission (e.g., 40G-SWDM4). A single OM5 pair can carry multiple wavelengths, reducing fiber count for 40/100/400G.
