Tripp Lite Fiber Optic Mode Conditioning 6' Patch Cable LC/MC to SC 2M (N425-02M)
Existing multimode runs often outlive the optics that originally fed them. We built this patch assembly to bridge single mode LC transceiver optics into SC multimode backbones across legacy plant. It manages the launch angle so laser light travels through multimode glass cleanly.
Price as our retail partner last listed it. They set it and they can change it, so the figure on their page is the one that counts at checkout.
- Converts Single mode LC GBIC to Multimode SC Patch Panel
- Use LC GBIC Single mode Transceivers on Multimode Fiber Backbones with SC patch bays
- 62.5/125 and 8.3/125
- Offsets the Single mode Laser launch from the center of a Multimode fiber
- Run 1000Base-LX Gigabit Ethernet over MMF by offsetting signal loss
How this one is built
Offset launch point
Laser light launched straight into the center of multimode glass causes differential mode delay. This assembly offsets the single mode fiber launch away from the core center, keeping the signal clean across the link.
LC to SC termination
One end lands LC connectors at the transceiver face, while the other end mates SC connections directly into the patch bay. The transition happens within the assembly, saving panel space.
Multimode backbone reuse
Upgrading optical transceivers does not require pulling fresh glass through the risers. This jumper adapts single mode optics directly to legacy plant cabling without replacing existing multimode runs.
Durable fiber jackets
Color-coded jacketing separates the single mode launch leg from the multimode receiving run for quick identification in the patch bay. Flexible strain relief boots keep the glass protected during routing.

These are the figures our retail partner lists for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
