5M Mode Conditioning Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable (62.5/125) - SC to SC
Best reliable connectivity for specialized network infrastructure.
This Networx 5-meter mode conditioning duplex fiber optic patch cable connects SC to SC connectors and is designed for Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-LX applications. It is essential for deploying new high-speed routers and switches within existing multimode backbones, effectively allowing 1000BASE-LX Ethernet to run over multimode fiber by offsetting signal loss. The cable is IEEE 802.3z compliant, eliminates Differential Mode Delay (DMD), and features ceramic ferrules for durability and Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polished fiber.

Know before you buy
This cable is specifically designed to allow 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet signals to run over existing multimode fiber backbones. It works by offsetting the signal to prevent Differential Mode Delay (DMD), which can occur when using single-mode transceivers on multimode fiber.
No, this is a specialized cable. It is intended specifically for connecting 1000BASE-LX equipment to multimode fiber. Using it in a standard multimode-to-multimode application may cause signal issues.
These numbers refer to the physical dimensions of the fiber strand. The 62.5-micron core is the light-carrying portion, while the 125-micron cladding is the outer layer that keeps the light contained within the core.
Yes, this cable features standard SC male connectors on both ends, which are widely used in networking equipment like routers and switches. The ceramic ferrules ensure a precise, durable connection.
Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing provides a high-quality finish on the fiber end-face. This reduces back-reflection, resulting in lower insertion loss and a more reliable signal transmission.
