How to Use the Mode Conditioning Patch Cord?
The mode-conditioning patch cord is suitable for long-wavelength multimode applications such as Gigabit Ethernet. Although it functions the same way as a standard patch cord, the mode-conditioning unit consists of a cable assembly with an offset single mode fiber to multimode fiber connection point and duplex SC connectors on each end.
The device optimizes the single mode launch nature of 1300nm transceiver modules used for Gigabit Ethernet that must operate over both single mode and multimode fibers.
A single mode laser launch in the center of the multimode fiber can generate multiple signals that confuse the receiver at the other end of the fiber. The mode-conditioning patch cord eliminates these multiple signals by aligning the single mode launch away from the center of a multimode fiber core.
The Gigabit Ethernet application standard requires the use of fiber optic light to achieve the specified data transmitting rates. Usually people use long wave transceiver modules for Gigabit Ethernet, these modules have to operate both single mode and multi-mode fibers.
And as we know, multimode fiber manufacturing techniques create index of refraction anomalies along the centerline of the multi-mode fiber core.
When a highly concentrated single mode fiber optic light is sent into the center of a multimode fiberglass, the modes that propagate through the index of refraction anomalies spread out in time causing modal dispersion, this effect is called differential mode delay.
Differential mode delay results in reduced bandwidth over distance. By allowing the single mode laser launch to be offset away from the center of the multi-mode fiber the mode conditioning patch cord reduces the effect of such differential mode delay.
Mode conditioning cable launches the laser at a precise offset from the center of the multimode fiber. This causes the laser to spread across the diameter of the fiber core, reducing the effect known as differential mode delay which occurs when the laser couples onto only a small number of available modes in multi-mode fiber.
Mode conditioning cable is normally used in pairs. That means that you will need a MC Cable at each end to connect the equipment to the cable plant. So then these cables are usually ordered in even numbers. The usual reason why someone may order one cable is so they may keep it as a spare.
