Cisco CAB-MCP-LC Mode-conditioning patch cable; LC connector

Cisco CAB-MCP-LC Mode-conditioning patch cable; LC connector

SKU: CAB-MCP-LC

The Cisco CAB-MCP-LC mode-conditioning patch cable is designed to be specifically used in networks that deploy single-mode technology. This high-quality cable features LC connectors and is essential for adapting single-mode fiber connectors to multi-mode fiber ports. By offsetting the single-mode laser launch from the center of a multi-mode fiber, it effectively prevents differential mode delay, ensuring an improvement in your network's data transmission accuracy and overall performance. Perfect for extending the functionality of an existing network, this cable is a crucial component for achieving optimal system performance and reliability. Ideal for use in data centers and enterprise networks.
