Item #: N422-02M | Model #: 818275790119
Eaton Tripp Lite Series Fiber Optic Mode Conditioning Patch Cable (ST/LC), 2M (6 ft.)
The Eaton Tripp Lite Series Fiber Optic Mode Conditioning Patch Cable (Part Number N422-02M) is designed for high-performance Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-LX applications. This 6-foot duplex patch cable features a fiber optic construction with LC and ST connectors, enabling reliable data transmission over multimode fiber optic networks. The cable's mode conditioning design is essential when deploying new high-speed Gigabit Ethernet routers and switches into existing multimode fiber installations, ensuring optimal performance and signal integrity. It effectively mitigates the issues caused by Differential Mode Delay (DMD), which can generate multiple signals when launching single-mode laser light into multimode fibers, thus extending the effective distance of Gigabit Ethernet links. The cable is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3z standards, offering compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. The rugged construction and high-quality connectors provide a durable solution suitable for demanding data center and enterprise environments. This fiber optic patch cable supports both 62.5/125 and 8.3/125 multimode fibers, making it versatile for various network configurations. The cable is manufactured in China by Eaton Corporation, a trusted name in network infrastructure, and is backed by a lifetime limited warranty for peace of mind. Whether upgrading existing networks or implementing new high-speed solutions, this mode conditioning cable ensures seamless integration and reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance over multimode fiber optic infrastructure.
