AddOn 3M Fiber Mode Conditioning Cable
Best solution for connecting single-mode equipment to existing multimode fiber networks.
This 3-meter LC offset (male) to SC (male) duplex riser-rated fiber mode conditioning cable is designed to eliminate differential mode delay signals by aligning the single-mode launch away from the center of a multimode fiber core. This creates a transmitted signal similar to typical multimode light emitting diode (LED) launches. The optical fiber, nonconductive, riser (OFNR) cable is best suited for interior fiber-optic applications. A duplex cable features two strands of fiber optic patch cable, ideal for transceivers that both transmit and receive. This cable is 100% compliant for all networking needs and guaranteed not to affect or void OEM warranties.

Know before you buy
This cable is designed to eliminate differential mode delay, which can occur when using high-speed single-mode transceivers over older multimode fiber. It offsets the launch to ensure the signal behaves like a standard LED launch, preventing data errors.
Yes. This cable is 100% compliant with industry standards and is guaranteed not to void your existing OEM hardware warranties.
A duplex cable consists of two fiber strands, which are necessary for transceivers that require separate paths for transmitting and receiving data simultaneously.
Yes, this is an OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated cable, meaning it is specifically designed and safety-rated for vertical runs between floors in interior building environments.
This cable features an LC male connector on one end and an SC male connector on the other, allowing you to bridge equipment that uses different interface standards.
Yes, it is specifically engineered to bridge the two, utilizing a 9/125 µm single-mode fiber core and a 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber core to facilitate the mode conditioning process.
