Product 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 confuse 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.
