Product Identity

This Tripp Lite N424-01M is a 3.28 ft fibre optic patch cable designed to bridge single-mode SC GBIC equipment with multimode LC patch panels. It serves network engineers and installers who need to connect mismatched transceiver types in Gigabit Ethernet environments.

Suitability

The cable suits technicians converting single-mode SC GBIC signals to multimode LC infrastructure for 1000Base-LX links. It is not for installers requiring a standard straight-through patch cord without mode conditioning, nor for runs exceeding the 3.28 ft length provided.

Critical Spec

Mode conditioning offsets the differential mode delay that occurs when launching single-mode 1000Base-LX signals into 62.5/125 or 8.3/125 multimode fibre, enabling reliable gigabit transmission across the link.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the N424-01M is working after connecting the LC and SC ends?

Link the 2 x LC Male connectors to your multimode patch panel and the 2 x SC Male connectors to the singlemode GBIC, then confirm a stable 1000Base-LX Gigabit Ethernet connection with no signal loss.

What comes with the N424-01M and what must I supply myself?

The box contains the 1 metre duplex mode conditioning patch cable with LC/SC ends; you must provide the compatible singlemode SC GBIC and multimode LC patch panel or switch ports.

Which version of the N424-01M should I choose for 62.5/125 or 8.3/125 micron fibre?

This single model supports both 62.5/125 and 8.3/125 micron fibres, so no separate version selection is needed.
