FAQs

Q: When do I need a mode-conditioning patch cable?
A: Use MCP when running 1000BASE-LX/LX4 optics over legacy multimode fiber to reduce differential mode delay and prevent link errors.

Q: Can I use this with 10GBASE-LR optics?
A: No. MCP is intended for LX/LX4 over MMF, not for LR single-mode links.

Q: Does an MCP increase maximum distance?
A: No. It improves signal launch quality over MMF but does not extend the standard reach.

Q: Is it compatible with LC transceivers?
A: Yes, it is designed for use with LC-based LX/LX4 optics.
