Specifications for OM4 Fiber Standard Reflect Those of the SYSTIMAX LazrSPEED 550 Solution
The performance specifications for the TIA’s new 492AAAD standard reflect those of the SYSTIMAX LazrSPEED 550 Solution – the same visionary fiber solution that has been deployed in local area network and data center applications around the world since 2003.

The SYSTIMAX® LazrSPEED® Solution offers a cost-effective, low risk route to reliable LAN communications in the Gb/s range.
An end-to-end multimode fiber solution, it enables cost-effective migration from 10Mb/s to 10Gb/s in premises networks
It can unleash the full potential of your GigaSPEED® XL U/UTP or PowerSUM U/UTP cabling network at a surprisingly low cost
And, with the ratification of the IEEE standard for 10 Gb/s (IEEE 802.3ae) and the standards for laser optimized multimode fiber (TIA), network users can now confidently deploy 10Gb/s Ethernet in their corporate backbones.
Our SYSTIMAX LazrSPEED Solution boosts performance to a blistering 10 Gb/s while reducing total system costs by eliminating expensive opto-electronics previously needed to achieve 10 Gb/s speeds on multimode fiber. The SYSTIMAX LazrSPEED technology is the world's first multimode fiber optic solution to support 10 Gb/s serial transmission at 850 nanometers at distances of over 300 meters -- more than enough to connect in-building backbones.
Laser-optimized multimode fiber optics provide an ideal pathway for photon travel. The additional bandwidth and geometry of these fibers eliminates the need for expensive, high-precision lasers, combiners, splitters, and filters. LazrSPEED fibers can transmit at 10 Gb/s using only a single VCSEL (vertical cavity surface-emitting laser) transceiver. The result has been shown to reduce total cost of ownership up to 30 - 40 percent over conventional CWDM (coarse wavelength division multiplexing) systems requiring more elaborate opto-electronics.
To further reduce total cost of ownership, the LazrSPEED Solution is backward compatible with legacy LAN applications. Its standards compliant 50-micron core diameter allows you to continue running your existing Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, SONET, and Token Ring applications. LazrSPEED fiber also enables dual speed 1 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s ports, which allows disruption-free upgrading of your Ethernet networks to the new higher-speed 10 Gb/s standards.
SYSTIMAX® TeraSPEED - a Zero Water Peak Singlemode (ZWP-SM) Fiber, designed to cost-effectively future-proof enterprise campus and metro backbones for next generation equipment.
TeraSPEED ZWP-SM fiber is designed to operate over the entire wavelength range from 1280nm to 1625 nm - removing the water peaks (high attenuation) in the 1400 nm window -increasing the useable wavelength range over conventional singlemode fiber by more than 50%.
TeraSPEED delivers a cost-effective upgrade path allowing up to 16 channels of CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing), the lowest-cost option to pack more channels on a single fiber, and up to 400 channels of DWDM (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing).
With bandwidth requirements continuing to grow at exponential rates, the TeraSPEED Solution is ready to support enterprise campus and metro backbone migrations to higher speeds and multiple wavelengths.
In addition, this full spectrum fiber provides customers with future proofing options: if optical electronics move to higher serial speeds or shift to an increased number of wavelengths, TeraSPEED provides complete support for both. TeraSPEED fibrer cables are ITU-T G.652.C compliant and support legacy transport equipment and applications.
The TeraSPEED ZWP-SM Solution follows the success of the SYSTIMAX LazrSPEED® Solution, that overcame the limitations of conventional multimode fiber to offer guaranteed support for the lowest-cost 10 Gb/s option up to 300m for the enterprise building backbones. By overcoming the limitations of conventional singlemode fiber, the TeraSPEED ZWP-SM fiber Solution once again demonstrates that SYSTIMAX Solutions is committed to delivering optimal media solutions for lowest-cost future-proofing.

Lowest multimode fiber channel loss available, up to 50% less than other systems
Lowest loss small form factor connector available in the industry - LC Connector
The SYSTIMAX® OptiSPEED® Solution was developed to provide fiber optic connectivity for network backbones that is optimised for legacy applications. 62.5 micron multimode fiber provides high-speed links to support low-cost signal transmission up to the TIA standard of 300 meters within a building and up to 2000 meters within a campus for many of today's legacy LAN.
The OptiSPEED channel, which includes the low-loss LC connector, supports the 1000BASE-SX, Gigabit Ethernet LAN, up to 300 meters with up to 6 LC connections. This is the lowest loss channel in the industry that simultaneously supports a longer distance than specified by the standard. OptiSPEED supports up to 600 meter for 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet LAN applications. The OptiSPEED solution also supports 10 Gbps Ethernet using four CWDM lasers to 300 meters.
In addition to LC connectors, the OptiSPEED solution also includes the duplex SC connector and the ST II+ connector. Supportable distances may be diminished with these connector types relative to that with the LC connector. The LC is a Small Form Factor connector that allows two LC connectors to fit in the space of a traditional connector such as the SC or ST II+. The solution offers an extensive line of wall and rack mounted patch panels and telecommunication outlets for building entrance facilities, equipment rooms, telephone closets/floor distributors and work areas.
SYSTIMAX channels comprised exclusively of OptiSPEED passive products, end-to-end, are capable of delivering up to 10 Gigabit per second in accordance with application standards.
