| Product News: LaserWave® 550 Fiber Meets the OM4 Mar |
 OFS’ LaserWave 550 Laser Optimized Multimode Fiber meets and exceeds the requirements of the OM4 standard recently authorized by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). The fiber supports an effective modal bandwidth (EMB) of 4700 MHz–km at 850 nm when used with 10 Gb/s Ethernet compliant VCSELs. It also supports a 3500 MHz–km OFL bandwidth at 850 nm, and a 500 MHz–km bandwidth at 1300 nm, to support legacy applications.
