What is a fiber array?
Fiber arrays (or fiber-optic arrays or fiber array units) are one- or two-dimensional arrays of optical fibers. Often, such an array is formed only for the very end of a bundle of fibers, rather than over the whole fiber length.

The official term for optical audio cable is “Toslink,” short for Toshiba Link. You’ve seen standard S/PDIF connections a bunch too; they’re often called “coax digital.” Optical had certain benefits over copper cables, but they were also more fragile, and for a long time, more expensive.
How do I know if my fiber is OM1 or OM2?
Each type has different properties.
- OM1 cable typically comes with an orange jacket and has a core size of 62.5 micrometers (µm).
- OM2 also has a suggested jacket color of orange.
- OM3 has a suggested jacket color of aqua.
- OM4 also has a suggested jacket color of aqua.
What’s the difference between OM1 and OM2?
OM1 is 62.5µm core diameter, while OM2, OM3 and OM4 are 50µm core diameter. OM2 is considered standard 50µm MMF, while OM3 and OM4 fibers are laser-optimized multimode fibers (LOMMF).
