Fiber Pigtails

Introduction

The Fiber Optic Pigtail is a fundamental termination component featuring a single, short length of optical fiber that is connectorized on one end and bare fiber on the other. Designed for permanent splicing onto the main cable plant, it serves as the critical interface between field fiber and network equipment. Available in Singlemode, Multimode (including OM3, OM4, OM5), and robust Armored designs, these pigtails are engineered for reliability in both protected and demanding environments. With options for simplex, duplex, or multi-fiber units (such as 12 or 24 fibers), they provide a versatile and compliant solution for creating low-loss, high-performance fusion splice points.

Features

● 100% Tested with Individual Testing Report for each fiber pigtail, CE, RoHS, FCC, ISO9001 certificated to ensure high quality.

● Precision Connector with 0.5 Concentricity ceramic ferrule for LC, SC, FC, ST, E2000 and other interfaces with insertion loss < 0.2dB.

● Flexible Fiber Core Configurations from Simplex to high-density 48-fiber bundles and ribbon fan-outs.

● Standards Compliance with Telcordia, EIA/TIA, and IEC specifications for guaranteed performance.

● Customizable Lengths and Jackets(PVC, LSZH, OFNR, OFNP) to meet specific installation requirements.

Principles

A fiber optic pigtail operates on the principle of creating a permanent, low-loss junction between the raw fiber of a trunk cable and a standardized connector. The bare end is fusion-spliced to the field fiber, forming a continuous optical waveguide with minimal signal attenuation. This method provides a superior and more reliable connection compared to field-terminated connectors. The pigtail's construction, whether in a 0.9mm tight buffer for intra-building use or within an armored sheath, is designed to protect the fragile splice point and ensure long-term mechanical stability and optical performance.

Applications

● Fusion Splicing in Fiber Distribution Panels and termination boxes.

● Data Center Interconnect and equipment cross-connect installations.

● FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network deployments and drop terminations.

● Building Backbone and Horizontal Cabling for enterprise networks.

● Industrial and Outdoor Environments utilizing armored and waterproof pigtails for protection.
