Mode Conditioning Patch Cord Installation Note
The requirement for MCP cable is specified only for 1000BASE-LX/LH transceivers transmitting in the 1300-nm window and in applications over MMF. MCP should never be used in 1000BASE-SX links in the 850nm window.
Another alternative for short reaches within the same location is to use a single-mode patch cable. There will be no saturation over single-mode fiber.
MCP cables are always recommended for a link operating over OM1, OM2 OR FDDI-grade fiber, but never used over OM3 fiber.
There is a risk associated to this type of nonstandard deployment without MCP, especially when the jumper cable is an FDDI-grade or OM1 type. In such case the power coupled directly into a 62.5- micron fiber could be as high as a few dBm and the adjacent receiver will be saturated. This can cause high bit error rate, link flaps, link down status and eventually irreversible damaged to the device.
In the event customers remain reluctant to deploy MCP cables, and for customers using OM3 cables, please measure the power level before plugging the fiber into the adjacent receiver. When the received power is measured above -3dBm, a 5-dB attenuator for 1300nm should be used and plugged at the transmitter source of the optical module on each side of the link.
The benchmark distance of the link distance is 984 feet (300 meters). The MCP cable is required for link distances greater than it.
