We supplies standard and customized mode conditioning patch cables (MCP) in 62.5/125 and 50/125 , which are specified for 1000BASE-LX/LH and 10GBASE-LRM transceivers transmitting in the 1300nm window and applicated over multimode plants. Launching a singlemode laser into the center of a multimode fiber can cause multiple signals to be generated that confuses the receiver at the other end of the fiber. These multiple signals, caused by Differential Mode Delay (DMD) effects, severely limit the cable distance lengths for operating Gigabit Ethernet. A mode conditioning patch cable eliminates these multiple signals by allowing the singlemode launch to be offset away from the center of a multimode fiber.

Key Features:

• Converts Singelemode LC GBIC to Multimode SC Patch Panel
• 62.5/125 and 8.3/125
• Run 1000Base-LX Gigabit Ethernet over MMF by offsetting signal loss
• Use LC GBIC Singlemode Transceivers on Multimode Fiber Backbones with SC patch bays
• Offsets the Singlemode Laser launch from the center of a Multimode fiber
• Lifetime limited warranty

How the Mode Conditioning Cable Works:
The need for this conditioning fiber optic patch cord is due to the single-mode launch nature of the-LX or long-wave(1300nm) transceiver modules used for Gigabit Ethernet.

Launching a single-mode laser into the center of a multimode fiber can cause multiple signals to be generated that confuse the receiver at the other end of the fiber.

In that case, a mode conditioning patch cord eliminates these multiple signals by allowing the single-mode launch to be offset away from the center of a multimode fiber.

This offset point creates a launch that is similar to typical multimode LED launches. (see diagram below)

How to Install the Mode Conditioning Cable:
If your gigabit LX switch is equipped with SC or LC connectors,please be sure to connect the yellow leg(Singlemode)of the cable to the transmit side,and the orange leg(multimode)to the receive side of the equipment.

It is imperative that this configuration be maintained on both ends.The swap of transmit and receive can only be done at the cable plant side.(see diagram below)
