Current multi-mode optics standard for 40GbE and 100GbE optics use multiple 10Gbps lasers, simultaneously transmitting across multiple fiber strands to achieve high data rates. Because of the multi-lane nature of these optics, both 40GbE and 100GbE multi-mode optics use a different style of fiber cabling, known as MPO or MTP cabling. An MPO/MTP cable presents 12 separate strands of multi-mode fiber, an OM3 or OM4 grade MMF is needed to be able to cover longer distances (up to 150m).
