Tripp Lite Fiber Optic Mode Conditioning Patch Cable (SC/LC), 1M (3-ft.)(N424-01M)
Plugging single-mode optics into existing multi-mode runs often leads to signal degradation in the core. We built this patch assembly with an offset launch to condition the light pulse before it hits the house plant. It keeps your existing glass in service across the run.
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.
- 1 Meter (3 feet) LC/SC Mode Conditioning Cable
- 62.5/125 and 8.3/125
- Offsets the Singlemode 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 fiber launch
The assembly shifts the incoming single-mode laser beam away from the center of the multi-mode core. This reduces differential mode delay across the run so the far receiver reads the signal cleanly.
Terminated connector pair
We build this with LC connectors on one end and SC on the other. Each connector latch seats firmly in the transceiver port and holds its position once plugged in.
Jacket construction
A flexible outer jacket protects the glass through tight cabinet corners and vertical cable managers. The housing stands up to routine movement when you reorganize a crowded patch frame.
Existing plant reuse
The cable lets you tie newer high-speed optics directly into legacy multi-mode backbones. That keeps old pathways useful without pulling fresh dark glass through the conduit.
