Parameters are specified over-temperature and at end-of-life unless otherwise noted.
When shorter distances of single-mode fiber are used, it may be necessary to insert an in-line optical
attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.
Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord Description
A mode-conditioning patch cord can be used with the WS-G5486 to allow reliable laser transmission
between the single-mode laser source on the GBIC module and a multimode optical fiber cable.
When an unconditioned laser source designed for operation on single-mode optical fiber is directly
coupled to a multimode optical fiber cable, an effect known as differential mode delay (DMD) might
result in a degradation of the modal bandwidth of the optical fiber cable.
This degradation results in a decrease in the link span (the distance between a transmitter and a receiver)
that can be supported reliably. The effect of DMD can be overcome by conditioning the launch
characteristics of a laser source. A practical means of performing this conditioning is to use a device
called a mode-conditioning patch cord.
