3 Reasons to Use Multimode Fibre

3 Reasons to Use Multimode Fibre

Multimode Fibre (MMF) is a type of Fibre Optic designed to carry multiple light rays simultaneously, each at a slightly different reflection angle within the Fibre Optic core. Typically used for communication over short distances, such as within a campus or across data centres, MMF is ideal for transmitting data at high speeds. The core size of Multimode Fibre, allows it to transmit more data than Single-Mode Fibre over short distances, making it an excellent choice for high-data-rate systems.


Here are three key reasons to consider using Multimode Fibre in your network, illustrated by NEW products that exemplify these benefits:

1. High Data Transmission Rates for Shorter Distances

Multimode Fibre is ideal for high-speed data transmission across shorter distances, making it perfect for applications within buildings like data centres or campus environments. It supports the deployment of bandwidth-intensive applications without sacrificing performance. For example, the 1m Multimode OM4 Duplex Fibre Optical Cable (BFL-LCU-DX-OM4-1) takes advantage of MMF technology to offer speeds necessary for modern applications, boasting an impressive 10Gbps data rate due to its advanced OM4 grade Fibre.

2. Cost-Effectiveness and Ease of Installation

MMF typically costs less than single-mode fibre, mainly because it uses light sources like LEDs or VCSELs that are cheaper than the lasers required for Single-Mode transmission. This makes MMF a more affordable option for organisations that need a high-quality network without the high cost. The Multimode Fibre Optical OM3 Duplex LC to LC Connector (BFC-OM3-LCU-DX-F) is an example of cost-efficiency, offering a durable design and competitive pricing suitable for various organisational budgets.


Moreover, the larger core size of MMF simplifies the connections, reducing the precision needed for splicing and connecting, thereby easing the installation process. Products like the 1m Multimode OM3 Simplex Fibre Optical Cable (BFL-LCU-OM3-1) and its pigtail version (BFP-LCU-OM3-1) support quick and reliable setups that are less prone to errors, showcasing the straightforward installations possible with MMF.

3. Scalability and Versatility

Multimode Fibre is highly scalable, allowing for upgrades to higher data rates as network requirements evolve, without necessitating a complete overhaul of the installed cabling infrastructure. The Multimode Fibre SFP (BFMOD-MM-10G) supports up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 300 metres, demonstrating MMF's high scalability and versatility. This is ideal for evolving tech environments where future-proofing is a crucial consideration.


Additionally, MMF's versatility is shown in its compatibility with various devices and network setups. For instance, the Multimode Fibre SFP (BFMOD-MM-1G) facilitates connections across a broad range of network equipment, ensuring compatibility and high performance across different devices.


Choosing Multimode Fibre offers significant advantages such as high-speed data transfer for shorter distances, cost-effectiveness, easy installation, and scalable and versatile networking solutions. Incorporating products like the OM3 and OM4 cables and versatile transceivers ensures that your network is robust, capable of meeting current demands, and prepared for future growth and technological advancements.
