Mode Conditioning Patchcord

Mode Conditioning Patchcord

The mode conditioning patchcord (MCP) was developed as a solution for network applications where Gigabit Ethernet hubs with laser based transmitters are deployed. Most existing customer fiber plant is designed with multimode fiber and distance considerations in accordance with IEEE 802.3 FOIRL, EIA/TIA568A, ISO11801 or EN50173 standards; i.e. >100mand <2000m, supporting 10 & 100Mps Ethernet transmissions. The MCP is the mean to achieve the drive distance of installed fiber plant beyond its original intended applications. It allows customer upgrading their hardware technology without the cost of upgrading fiber plant. In addition, MCP significantly improves data signal quality while increasing the transmission distance.

Applications

  • Constructed to the IEEE802.3z application standard - eliminates Differential Mode Delay (DMD) effects
  • Used in place of a 850nm or 1300nm Gigabit Ethernet standard multimode duplex patchcord
  • Vcsel laser source into standard multimode fiber!

Parameters

  • Insertion Loss (Transmit): < 0,85dB per mated connector pair
  • Insertion Loss (Receive): <0,3dB (0,2dB typical)
  • Cable: Multimode 62.5/125 2.8mm or 50/125 2.8mm and Singlemode 9/125 2,8mm
  • Connectors: LC, ST, SC, FC

Advantages

  • Increased transmission bandwidth by as much as 4 times
  • Low insertion loss (<0,85dB, normally <0,5)
  • reduced modal noise
  • easy installation, various connector options.
  • Construction that will never require additional calibration
