Mode Conditioning Patchcord (MCP) is used in longwave/long-haul (LX/LH) Gigabit Interface Carriers (GBICs) with multimode fiber. Without using MCP, multiple signals are generated when a singlemode laser launch into the center of a multimode fiber. This would result in pulse broadening or Differential Model Delay (DMD) effects which degrade the modal bandwidth of fiber cable and limit the link span (the distance between the transmitter and receiver) for operating Gigabit Application. You must install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the GBIC and the MMF cable on transmit and receive ends of the link.MCP provides an offset singlemode to multimode fiber connector point that eliminates the effect of DMD by launching the singlemode laser into multimode core at a specified offset.

Applications:
Long Haul to Short Haul LX Gigabit System
Recommended for multimode cable runs greater than 50 feets
Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-LX (1300nm long wavelength)
Features:
