Eaton Tripp Lite Series Fiber Optic Mode Conditioning Patch Cable (LC Mode Conditioning to SC), 3M (10 ft.)

Tripp Lites Mode Conditioning Cables are designed for use in Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-LX applications. N425-Series cables convert a Singlemode LC GBIC to an SC Multimode patch bay. They are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3z application standards. Mode Conditioning Cables are needed in applications where 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 confuses 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. More from the Manufacturer

SC and LC Connectors, Superior Quality and Lifetime Warranty

The N425-03M comes with widely compatible SC connectors on one end and LC connectors on the opposite end. All connectors are thoroughly tested to ensure they meet Tripp Lite's stringent insertion loss standards.

The N425-03M is manufactured using top quality materials. Compatible with 62.5/125 and 8.3/125 duplex fiber and featuring an OFNR-rated PVC jacket, sturdy connectors and fiber made from glass instead of a polymer, Tripp Lite's fiber optic mode conditioning patch cables are made to last in high-demand data center and networking applications.

For peace of mind, the N425-03M cable is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. This cable is manufactured in compliance with strict RoHS specifications, reflecting Tripp Lite’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
