Description

This mode conditioning patch cable uses LC duplex connectors and an MMF with SMF offset launch design. It is intended for linking 1000BASE-LX/LX4 optics over multimode fibre, allowing Gigabit long-wavelength transceivers to operate reliably across legacy multimode cabling. It suits enterprise and campus fibre links where existing multimode infrastructure needs to be reused.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

FAQs

Q: What is the CAB-MCP-LC used for?
A: It is a mode conditioning patch cable used to connect 1000BASE-LX/LX4 optics over multimode fibre by applying an offset launch from the single-mode transmitter into the multimode fibre.

Q: What connector type does this cable use?
A: It uses LC duplex connectors.

Q: Do I need a mode conditioning patch cable for every 1000BASE-LX link?
A: It is intended for links where a 1000BASE-LX/LX4 optic is run over multimode fibre. Links run over single-mode fibre do not use this type of cable.

Q: How does this differ from a standard duplex patch cable?
A: A standard duplex patch cable has no offset launch. This cable includes an SMF-to-MMF offset so that 1000BASE-LX/LX4 optics can operate over multimode fibre.
