When using an LX/LH GBIC with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord (CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) 
between the GBIC and the MMF cable on both the transmit and receive ends of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link 
distances less than 328 feet (100 m) or greater than 984 feet (300 m). The mode-conditioning patch cord prevents overdriving the receiver for short 
lengths of MMF and reduces differential mode delay for long lengths of MMF.

The minimum link distance for ZX GBICs is 6.2 miles (10 km), with an 8-dB attenuator installed at each end of the link. Without attenuators, the 
minimum link distance is 24.9 miles (40 km).
