j-FiberUnits 40/100

Up to 100 Gb/s Ethernet high data rate transmission of over more than 150 m link lengths, exceeding current IEEE demands

j-FiberUnit 40 and j-FiberUnit 100 have been designed to support higher data rate transmission in advanced data center cabling. They contain pre-selected, low-skew (≤0.75ns) j-fiber OptiGrade OM3 and OM4 fibers in standard or bend-insensitive version and allow reliable up to 100 Gb/s Ethernet parallel data transmission. Both j-fiber OM3 and OM4 fiber types provide more than 150 m link lengths performance which exceeds current IEEE objectives and allows to cover up to 97% of all data center link lengths demands in structured, future-safe IT cabling, while reducing network complexity and costs. Unlike current fiber ribbon constructions j-FiberUnits 40/100 have no preferential bend limitation.
