🔹 Why OM5 for 400G?
✔ Supports Short-Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM) – Enables 4x more bandwidth than OM4.
✔ Extended Reach – Up to 150m for 400G-SR8 (vs. 100m on OM4).
✔ Future-Proof – Ready for 800G/1.6T upgrades with SWDM.

🔹 Applications
✔ Cloud & Hyperscale Data Centers (Spine-Leaf, ToR switches)
✔ AI/ML Clusters (High-bandwidth GPU interconnects)
✔ High-Frequency Trading (HFT) Networks
✔ Enterprise Core Networking

🔹 Installation Best Practices
✔ Verify MPO Polarity (Type A/B/C) before deployment.
✔ Use MPO Cleaning Tools – Avoid dust/contamination.
✔ Avoid Tight Bends – Maintain minimum bend radius.
✔ Test with VFL/OLTS – Ensure low insertion loss.
