Hello everyone,

Looking for someone with some fiber experience to answer this. I'd like to spec out an OM4 category fiber cable (50um). Will this category cable be compatible with an NTRON 708FX2 switch? The specs for the switch say it will take fiber that is 50um-62.5um. OM4 cable is supposed to be "laser optimized OM4, for laser-optimized 50um fiber having 4700 MHz*km EMB bandwidth designed for 10 Gb/s, 40 Gb/s, and 100 Gb/s transmission.". But the switch is Fast ethernet. Do I need to go up to a Gigabit switch? I'm looking to stick with OM4 so for future provisions.
