Mode Conditioning Cable (MCC)
Mode conditioning cables are employed to prevent problems arising from the use of singlemode lasers for transmissions over multimode fibres. They induce higher modes thus limiting differential mode delay. This is done by injecting the singlemode laser systematically outside the centre of the MM fibre’s core.
Applications
MCCs are mainly used for Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-LX at 1300nm, when high-speed routers and switches shall be used together with optical multimode networks.
The MCCs from FOC fulfil the requirements of IEEE 802.3 and can be delivered with all connector types.
