Optical multimode cablesOptical multimode 3 (OM3) and optical multimode 4 (OM4) cables are available foropen systems host and SRDF connectivity. To obtain OM3 or OM4 cables, contactyour local sales representative.l OM3 cables are used for SRDF connectivity over: 4, 8, and 10 Gb/s Fibre ChannelI/O modules, 10 GbE and 1 GbE I/O modules.l OM4 cables are used for SRDF connectivity over 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel I/Omodules.l OM4 cables are used with 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel I/O modules to provide FibreChannel connection to switches. Distances of up to 190 m over 8 Gb/s FibreChannel and 125 m over 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel modules are supported.OM2 or OM3 cables can be used, but distance is reduced.l OM3 cables support 8 and 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel distances up to 150 m or 16 Gb/sFibre Channel distances up to 100 m.l OM2 cables support 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel distances up to 50 m or 10 Gb/sEthernet up to 82 m.NoteOM2 cables can be used, but they will not support 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel (SRDF)distances greater then 50 m. For longer distances, use OM3 cables.Open systems host and SRDF connectivityThe following table provides the OM3 and OM4 cables.Table 16 OM3 and OM4 Fibre cables — 50/125 micron optical cableModel number DescriptionSYM-OM3-1M LC-LC, 1 meterSYM-OM3-3M LC-LC, 3 meterSYM-OM3-5M LC-LC, 5 meterSYM-OM3-10M LC-LC, 10 meterSYM-OM3-30M LC-LC, 30 meterSYM-OM3-50M LC-LC, 50 meterSYM-OM3-100M LC-LC, 100 meterSYM-OM4-1M LC- LC, 1 meterSYM-OM4-3M LC- LC, 3 meterSYM-OM4-5M LC- LC, 5 meterSYM-OM4-10M LC- LC, 10 meterSYM-OM4-30M LC- LC, 30 meterSYM-OM4-50M LC- LC, 50 meterSpecifications32 Site Planning Guide VMAX 250F, VMAX 450F, VMAX 850F, VMAX 950F with HYPERMAX OS
