Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord
A mode-conditioning patch cord is recommended for use with an LX/LH GBIC or an LX/LH SFP 
transceiver and MMF to allow reliable laser transmission. 
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...
