Cabling Guidelines for Transceivers
Cabling Guideline
The Cisco LX4 transceiver supports link lengths of 300 meters on
standard FDDI grade MMF. To ensure that specifications are met, the
transmitter output should be coupled through a mode conditioning patch
cord. Cisco offers two mode conditioning patch cords:
CAB-GELX-625=—Mode-conditioning patch cable supporting
•
62.5 micron fiber with dual SC connectors.
•
CAB-MCP50-SC=—Mode-conditioning patch cable supporting
50 micron fiber with dual SC connectors.
