Eaton Tripp Lite N425-02M 6ft Fiber Optic Mode Conditioning Cable for Gigabit Ethernet

Eaton Tripp Lite Series Fiber Optic Mode Conditioning Patch Cable (LC Mode Conditioning to SC), 2M (6 ft.)

The Eaton Tripp Lite N425-02M fiber optic mode conditioning cable is designed to facilitate high-speed Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-LX) applications over multimode fiber optic cabling. This 6-foot patch cord is essential for deploying single-mode transceiver modules into existing multimode networks, effectively mitigating Differential Mode Delay (DMD) effects that can cause signal distortion and limit transmission distances. By offsetting the single-mode laser launch from the center of the multimode fiber, this cable ensures cleaner signal transmission, maintaining optimal network performance over longer distances without interference. The cable's construction supports both 62.5/125 and 8.3/125 multimode fibers, making it versatile for various fiber optic setups. Its fully compliant design adheres to IEEE 802.3z standards, ensuring reliable and standards-based connectivity. The bright orange color enhances visibility in cable management, and the environmentally friendly design aligns with WEEE directives. Suitable for use in data centers, networking closets, and enterprise environments, this cable provides a durable, lifetime-limited warranty solution for fiber optic network expansion and upgrades. Manufactured by Eaton Corporation, it combines quality build with ease of installation, making it a critical component for maintaining high-performance Ethernet networks that leverage both single-mode and multimode fiber infrastructures.

Features:

• Run 1000Base-LX Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber by offsetting signal loss

• Supports 62.5/125 and 8.3/125 multimode fibers

• Converts single-mode LC GBIC to multimode SC patch panel for seamless integration
