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.
