Mode Conditioning Patch Cable

Reliable Mode Conditioning Patch Cable Manufacturer

Mode conditioning fiber patch cable (50/125um or 62.5/125um) are a types of fiber patch cords use multimode fiber optic cables, but one side with a single mode connector. This mode conditioning cable are mainly used in Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-LX application where need deploy new single mode high-speed 1000BASE-LX routers and switches in existing multimode backbones.

 Its main advantages:

  • Meets IEEE802.3z requirements
  • Eliminate Differential Mode Delay effects
  • Low access loss <0.5dB
  • Adopt Riser, Plenum, LSZH 50um or 62.5um multimode fiber optic cable

Mode Conditioning Patch Cable Working Principle

Multimode fiber uses LED light source. When LED light is coupled into a multimode fiber, it typically produces an over-emission state, resulting in equal optical power distribution across all fiber modes.

Single mode Gigabit 1000Base-LX devices use single mode laser sources. Because single mode laser sources are highly collimated, they often produce an under-emission state when coupled into a multimode fiber, resulting in uneven optical power distribution across all fiber modes.

Using a “Mode Conditioning Patch Cable” or “Mode Conditioning Patch Cord,” laser light can be launched into a single mode fiber and then coupled into a multimode fiber that is off-center relative to the single-mode fiber core. This allows for the excitation of a large number of modes in the fiber, weighting the mode groups that are highly excited due to overfilled launch conditions while avoiding the excitation of mode groups with similar power levels that are far apart. This enables the laser transmitter to operate at gigabit speeds on multimode fiber without being limited by the DMD.

Mode Conditioning Patch Cable Protection Device

Yingda offer two types of protection device for the single mode to multimode conversion part: stainless steel tube or heat shrink protection sleeve. Both can protect the conversion joint well.

How to use a patch cord and 1000BASE-LX/LH transceivers?

  • Step 1: Plug the single-mode fiber (SMF) connector into the transmit bore of the transceiver TX.
  • Step 2: Plug the MMF connector of the duplex connector into the receive bore of the transceiver RX.  
  • Step 3: At the other end of the patch cord, plug both MMF connectors into the patch panel.
  • Step 4: Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the second transceiver located at the other end of the network link.

Mode Conditioning Patch Cables Buying FAQ

When a fast rising time laser pulse is applied to a multimode fiber, significant pulse broadening occurs due to the difference in propagation time of different modes within the fiber. This type of pulse broadening is called differential mode delay (DMD), and its broadening is sufficient to render a gigabit link inoperable.

Yingda are fiber patch cord factory, no middle man, competitive price help you win more market.

It depends, our production time is fast, daily 10000pcs connectors.

Please leave your delivery address and details, then will check with if can door to door service or not.

The easiest way to tell the difference is by looking at the cable's outer sheath color. Singlemode is yellow, multimode is orange, aqua, purple, rose red, or lime green. If customize color, refer to the printing mark on the cable jacket: SM, 9um for singlemode fiber patch cable, MM 50um, 62.5um for multimode fiber patch cable.

It is not recommended to use them together due to differences in transmission modes and performance mismatches. This can lead to intermittent disconnections, link failures, or device damage, unless it is a short-term emergency measure over a short distance where no other solution is available.

When connecting a single mode gigabit 1000Base LX device to a multimode patch cable, make sure to connect the yellow connector (single mode fiber) of the mode conditioning cable to the transmitting end of the device(TX), the orange connector (multi mode fiber) to the receiving end of the device(RX). The other ends of the mode conditioning cable connect the same as this way.
