OVERVIEW

Mode Conditioning Patch cord, LC (Equipment Side) to ST (Plant Side), 50/125um Multimode, 3m

Mode Conditioning Patch cord (MCP), also known as Gigabit Launch Patch cord, is used in longwave/long haul (LX/LH) Gigabit Interface Converter (GBICs) with multimode fiber. Without using MCP, multiple signals are generated when a single mode laser launch into the center of a multimode fiber. This would result in pulse broadening or Differential Model Delay (DMD) effects which degrade the modal bandwidth of fiber cable and limit the link span (the distance between the transmitter and receiver) for operating Gigabit Application. MCP provides an offset single mode to multimode fiber connector point that eliminates the effect of DMD by launching the single mode laser into multimode core at a specified offset.

Application:

 • Long Haul to Short Haul LX Gigibit System 

 • Recommended for multimode cable runs greater than 50 feets

 • Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-LX (1300nm long wavelength) 

Feature:

 • Eliminates issues related to Differential Mode Delay (DMD)

 • Compliant with IEEE 802.3z 

 • Rugged Offset Closure with Consistent Offset 

 • Low Insertion Loss (<0.4dB) 

 • Available with 50um and 62.5um multimode cable
