We present the latest standards, technology, market and industry trends for graded-index, laser optimized multimode fibers (MMF) coupled to low-cost Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) links, which have historically provided the most cost effective and widely deployed short-reach fiber solutions for local area networks (LAN) and data centers (DC). An updated outlook on the future of MMF will be presented.
