Mode Conditioning Cables (also called Gigabit Launch cables or Mode conditioning Patch Cords) are designed for Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-LX network and other applications where both single-mode and multi-mode interconnects are needed. As Gigabit-LX can use both single-mode and multi-mode cables, when a Gigabit-LX transceiver is operated with single-mode cable and directly coupled to Multi-mode cables, an effect known as Differential Mode Delay(DMD) might occur. DMD limits the cable distance lengths for operating Gigabit Ethernet. Mode conditioning cable can enable a single-mode signal to be correctly sent through a multimode network..
