They allow control over fiber type, cable construction, connector styles, jacket materials, and length. Thorlabs stocks the largest selection of single mode and multimode optical fibers in the photonics industry. With advanced production lines, strict quality management, and rich experience in fiber optic connectivity, we provide complete OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing), ODM (Original Design Manufacturing), and custom cable assembly services for global clients. Whilst we supply a range of fibre optic products to suit all optical fibre communication needs, we also offer the value added service of assemblies made up from a wide variety of components to a customer's specification. Some coatings resist water, while others protect against heat, and some even block harsh chemicals. We offer bulk fiber optic cables, from Aerial Fiber Optic Cable to Military Tactical Cable for various applications that require field termination.

ISO/IEC 11801 defines the OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, and OM5 types of multimode fiber. To recap Optical Fiber can be divided into Multimode Fiber (MMF) and Single-Mode optical fiber (SMF). Multimode Fiber (MMF) has a core diameter, typically 50–100 micrometers, has ability to transfer multiple modes of light through the fiber core, uses lower-cost electronics (LED, VCSEL) operates at. There are five main types of multimode fiber, standardized by ISO/IEC 11801: OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 and OM5. Multi-mode optical fiber is a type of optical fiber mostly used for communication over short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. 5 microns, which allows them to transmit data over distances of up to 300 meters at a speed of 10 gigabits per second (Gbps).
