Cabling and Technology
Information
If you connect the patch cord directly to the network cabling, you may need
to install a female-to-female adapter to allow the cables to be connected
together.
Figure B-1. Example: Connecting a Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX
Make sure you purchase a patch cord that has appropriate connectors on each
end, and has multimode fibers that match the characteristics of the multimode
fiber in your network. Most important, the core diameter of the multimode
patch cord must match the core diameter of the multimode cable
infrastructure (either 50 or 62.5 microns).
