Cameroon Long-Distance Optical Cable OM5

Home / Cameroon Long-Distance Optical Cable OM5

OM5 is the sole fiber with SWDM (Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing) capability. Incumbent operator CAMTEL will kick off the rollout of an additional 3,500 kilometers of terrestrial fiber across Cameroon in 2024. The topic of this article, OM5 fiber, is a multimode fiber cable designed for high-bandwidth, short- to medium-range applications. OM3, OM4, and OM5 are types of multi-mode optical fibres commonly used in data centres and enterprise environments to support various network speeds and transmission distances, including 10 gigabit Ethernet (10G), 40 gigabit Ethernet (40G), 100 gigabit Ethernet (100G) and 400 gigabit Ethernet.
