Yes, it is possible to run 10gb over multimode fiber using 10Gbps transceivers and appropriate fiber optic cables. 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. The 1310 nm WWDM solution, 10GBASE-LX4, requires the use of a mode-conditioning patch cord on multimode fiber to achieve its specified range of operating distances. The implementation of a cabling design, compatible with LED and laser-based Ethernet network devices, which will allow the integration.
