Tips

For optimal performance, ensure that all fiber connections are clean before mating. Use the integrated splice tray to manage excess fiber slack and maintain bend radius. When deploying OM5, verify that all components in the link, including patch cords and transceivers, are OM5-rated to achieve the desired transmission speeds.
