How to Install Mode Conditioning Patch Cord in Gigabit Ethernet Transmission

Mode conditioning patch cord is known as a conditioned launch fiber cable that is designed for Gigabit Ethernet Multimode applications. When you send a single mode high concentrated beam into multimode optic fiber, mode conditioning patch cables are used with each transmitter and receiver in the links to remove the degrade of performance for the data transmission. The mode conditioning patch cords are with different length and connector combinations, commonly types are LC, SC, ST. The mode conditioning cable type is duple, in the middle of the cable, there are 3 multimode connectors and 1 single mode connector.

When using 1000BASE-LX/LH transceivers with legacy 62.5-micron or 50-micron MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the transceiver and the MMF cable on both ends of the link. According to fiber types of the link like OM1 and OM2, you should decide choose either OM1 Mode Conditioning Patch Cable or OM2 Mode Conditioning Patch Cable. You should never use them for applications over OM3 and more recent fiber types. Mode conditioning cable are normally used in pairs. That means you should need a MCP (Mode conditioning patch) cable at each end to connect the equipment to the cable plant. Next we will introduce the installation steps of the mode conditioning patch cords in Gigabit Ethernet Transmission where the 1000BASE-LX/LH switch is equipped with SCor LC connectors.

How to Install Mode Conditioning Patch Cord?

Step1. Connect the yellow leg (single mode connector) of the MCP cable into the transmit bore of the transceiver.
Step2. Connect the rest orange legs (multimode connectors) of the MCP cable into the receive bore of the transceiver.
Step3. At the other end of the patch cord, put all the orange legs (multimode connectors) into the patch panel.
Step4. Repeat the above three steps for the second transceiver located at the other end of the network link.
After you have finished all the connection steps above, all the swap of transmit and receiver can only be done at the cable plant side.

Mode-conditioning Patch Cord Installation Note:

The requirement for MCP cable is specified only for 1000BASE-LX/LH transceivers transmitting in the 1300-nm window and in applications over MMF. MCP should never be used in 1000BASE-SX links in the 850-nm window.

Another alternative for short reaches within the same location is to use a single-mode patch cable. There will be no saturation over single-mode fiber.

MCP cables are always recommended for a link operating over OM1, OM2 OR FDDI-grade fiber, but never used over OM3 fiber.

There is a risk associated to this type of nonstandard deployment without MCP, especially when the jumper cable is an FDDI-grade or OM1 type. In such case the power coupled directly into a 62.5- micron fiber could be as high as a few dBm and the adjacent receiver will be saturated. This can cause high bit error rate, link flaps, link down status and eventually irreversible damaged to the device.

In the event customers remain reluctant to deploy MCP cables, and for customers using OM3 cables, please measure the power level before plugging the fiber into the adjacent receiver. When the received power is measured above -3dBm, a 5-dB attenuator for 1300nm should be used and plugged at the transmitter source of the optical module on each side of the link.

The benchmark distance of the link distance is 984 feet (300 meters). The MCP cable is required for link distances greater than it.

Some Points about Fiber Optic Connector

As one of the worldwide leaders in designing, manufacturing and distributing high performance Fiber Optic?Connector, Ingellen provides various fiber optic connector:FC , LC , SC , ST, Ceramic Ferrules& Sleeves , DLC, MTRJ, SMA905, E2000, D4, MU, MPO, ESCON, BICONIC, DIN, FDDI, LX.5 Fiber?Optic Connector and Fast Connector.

Fiber Optic Connector has been widely used in fiber optic transmission lines, fiber optic patch panels and fiber-optic test instruments and meters. The Fiber Optic Connector is one of the most?essential components for fiber optic communication. It mate or connect with optical devices, modules, and fibers. Fiber connector is also the key part used in fiber Patch cord and fiber Pigtail.

Development of Fiber Optic Connector

With the expansion of technology development and application of fiber optic patch cables are also achieving rapid development. The types of fiber optic connectors on the market are probably 12 or?more, each of which was launched to the specific needs, of course, came to meet, there are some technical limitations. The trend in the market is developing at a moderate price, compact plug-mode?and all can support the requirements of the new transmission distribution system. As users expect that the ongoing development of the telecommunications industry also supports the large-scale?application of the optical fiber, in large part due to the rapid growth of demand in the way of communication and entertainment services on the fiber link.

Requirements for Fiber Optic Connector

The fiber optic connection is very stringent accuracy of the equipment,The species of fiber patch cord are many kinds. so the connector must be very clean. Fiber optic connectors and accessories?are usually mounted on a series of house, a fingerprint or external dust seriously affect the performance of the connector, and even the loss of communication. Therefore, the connector can be?stored in clean protective sleeve without connection. Then we should also put fiber optic connector. Previously wedge ?ferrule? all fiber optic connector design is used to provide an accurate, if?port select. The fiber optic terminal in the ferrule is an integral part of glue or crimping narrow tires. Ferrules are usually made of a relatively hard material such as ceramics, produced?naturally, can also be made of stainless steel, plastic, or from a tungsten carbide material.

Differences of SFP, GBIC, XFP and SFP Plus

A transceiver is a device composed of optoelectronic devices, functional circuitry and optical interface. The transmitter and receivers are combined and share common circuitry or a single housing. When no circuitry is common between transmit and receive functions, the device is a transmitter-receiver. Technically, transceivers must combine a significant amount of the transmitter and receiver handling circuitry just like transponders, transverters and repeaters. In the transmitter section, a certain bit rate signal after processing by the internal driver chi promote the LD or LED to emit a corresponding rate of the modulated optical signal, the automatic control circuit with an internal optical power, so that the optical signal output power is kept stable. In the receiver section, the input signal with a certain bit rate is converted into an electric signal by a light detection diode and output a corresponding bit rate after preamplifier, which is generally PECL.

SFP and GBIC Transceivers
GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) is a hot-swappable Gigabit Interface optical module with SC connector. A gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a standard for transceivers, commonly used with Gigabit Ethernet and fiber channel. GBIC module is hot pluggable, this feature allows a suitably designed enclosure to be changed from one type of external interface to another simply by plugging in a GBIC having the alternative external interface. SFP is also called mini-GBIC, SFP module is the abbreviation of Small Form Pluggable. It is half the volume of GBIC and can be configured double number of ports on the same panel. Other basic functions is the almost the same with the GBIC.

SFP and SFP Plus
The main difference between SFP and SFP Plus is that the SFP+ is used in Gigabit Ethernet applications while SFP is for 100Bse or 1000Base applications. SFP+ transceivers use the same dimensions of pluggable transceivers in the 10Gbs Ethernet and 8.5Gbs fiber channel with SFP and SFP comply with standards of IEEE802.3 and SFF-8472.

SFP Plus and XFP
SFP plus and XFP are both 10G transceivers, and share the same features with other 10G transceivers. The main difference between them is SFP+ is more compact sized than XFP. The smaller SFP+ transfer the modulation functions, serial/deserializer, MAC, clock and data recovery (CDR) and EDC functions from the module to the motherboard on the card. XFP comply protocol of XFP MSA while SFP plus comply with IEEE802.3, SFF-8431, SFF-8432.

The fiber optic transceivers, as the core of optoelectronic device in the WAN, MAN or LAN application, have also developed various types along with the increasing in complexity. 10G transceivers have experienced developments from 300Pin, XENPAK, X2, XFP and finally realized using the same sized with SFP to transmit 10G signals, what is SFP+. SFP, with its advantages of miniaturized and low-cost, meet the demand of high-density fiber transceivers, and now has replaced the XFP and becomes the main stream of 10G transceivers markets.

GPON ONU and OLT SFP Modules – Ingellen

GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks) is the leading technology used in FTTx (FTTH) deployments. Unlike point to point optical network topology, PON is different than in that it is a Point to Multi-Point (P2MP) topology. A PON consists of an Optical Line Termination (OLT) on the provider's side and one or many Optical Network Units (ONU) on the users' side. From the Central Office’s?(CO) OLT with GPON OLT SPT transceiver, a single strand of fiber goes out to a passive optical splitter where its signal is multiplied to 64 (128) different lines. The Transmit and Receive signals operate on different wavelengths allowing bi-directional operation over a single fiber. Anything transmitted from the OLT is transmitted to all 32 lines. It is up to the customer’s system ONU to determine what packets are for that customer. The PON current standards have defined downstream data rates up to 2.5Gbps.

What is a Fiber Loopback Cable?

Fiber loopback is a media of return patch for a fiber optic signal that widely used for fiber optic testing, fiber network repair and fiber optic equipment diagnosis. Loopback test is a hardware or software method to test physical link problems of the fiber optic networks. It is realized by feeding a received signal or data back to the sender. Fiber optic loopback cables types is classified based on the fiber connector types, optic fiber modes.
Traditional fiber optic loopback is like a fiber optic patch cable with two fiber connectors at each end, forming a loop. Nowadays there are also another improved fiber loopbacks which called molded fiber optic loopbacks or fiber optic loopback modules. It is more compact sized and stronger. The molded loopback use an outer enclosure to protect it and from the outside you do not see the optical cables, they are more compacted size and stronger then the fiber loopback cables.
Just like the fiber patch cable, the fiber loopbacks is made up of different kinds of outer jackets, cable diameters, length or terminations that various according to customers’ special requirements.

How to Choose Fiber Optic Adapter

As we know, fiber optic connector is an important fiber optic component used to link two fiber optic lines together. Beside connector, there is also another item, which is fiber optic adapter with panels to connecting multi fiber optic line. Specifically, the fiber optic adapter is a small device that used to terminate or link the fiber optic cables or fiber optic connectors between two fiber optic lines. In order to realize the fluent fiber optic connection, the fiber optic adapter panel shapes or types should be in accordance with the fiber optic connectors or cables. Common shapes of the adapters are square, rectangular, or round that with FC, LC, ST, SC, MTRJ types. There are also single mode and multimode fiber optic adapters or single mode and multimode fiber optic connections. So when purchasing fiber optic adapters for fiber connections, it is essential to choose the right fiber optic adapter according to the fiber optic connector or fiber optic cables.

Standard or flange fiber optic adapter is a typical type used to connect the same types of optical connector, there are SC, ST, LC and MTRJ type available for choosing. These adapters are comprised of two or more female connections that fiber optic cables can be plugged into. flange fiber optic adapters are typically with ceramic sleeves, fitting for both single mode and multimode fiber optic connections.

Hybrid fiber optic adapters are another type used to link two different kinds of fiber connectors or cable assemblies. For example, LC to SC hybrid adapter, it can link LC connector at one side and SC connector at the other side. Hybrid fiber adapters can be also used for single mode and multimode fiber optic connections with PC or APC sleeves, in simplex and duplex style. Hybrid fiber adapters use high precision ceramic sleeves because it can provide reliable ferrule mating and ensure low insertion loss and return loss during the connecting. This type of optical fiber adapters is with compact sized and widely used for network environments integrating different configurations and telecommunications networks.

Bare fiber adapter is structured with optic fibers on one side and the adapter on the other side. It is used to link the bare optical fiber cable to fiber optic equipments. The adapter side is a connector that can plug into the equipment and enable a quick and easy termination for the optic fiber. Because this feature of the bare fiber adapters, they are widely used for emergency situation for fast and temporary fiber optic or urgent connection, testing bare fiber, fiber on the reel, fiber before and after installation and so on. SC, FC, LC, ST bare fiber adapters is now available in the market.

A single optical fiber adapter usually could hold a dozen of cables, if you splice multiple adapters together, it can even make hundreds or thousands of connection. Knowing what kind of connections, multimode or single mode, simplex or duplex, as well as the connector types can help you choose the corresponding right type of optical fiber adapter for application.
