5M (16-ft.) Fiber Optic Mode Conditioning Patch Cable (SC/LC)
Highlights
5 Meter LC/SC Mode Conditioning Cable
62.5/125 and 8.3/125
Run 1000Base-LX Gigabit Ethernet over MMF by offsetting signal loss
IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet Compliant
Description
Tripp Lites Mode Conditioning Cables are designed for use in Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-LX applications. They are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3z
application standards. Mode Conditioning Cables are needed in applications where new high-speed Gigabit 1000BASE-LX routers and switches are
being deployed into existing multimode plants. The need for this patch cord is due to the single-mode launch nature of the -LX or long-wave (1300
nm) 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 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 cord eliminates these multiple signals by allowing
the single-mode launch to be offset away from the center of a multimode fiber.
