OM3 Fiber Optic Pigtails LSZH 0.9mm 50/125 Multimode Simplex Bunch SC/UPC LC/UPC 12 Fibers Pigtail

OM3 Fiber Optic Pigtails are designed to support fusion and mechanical splicing for fiber cabling systems. They provide a fast way to make communication devices in the field.
The OM3 Fiber Optic Pigtails bend-insensitive fiber optic pigtails have less attenuation when bent or twisted than traditional fiber optic pigtails, making installation and maintenance more efficient.

A fiber optic pigtail is a type of fiber optic cable with only one end that has a factory-terminated connector and the other end exposed as bare fiber. A fiber optic pigtail is typically used for field termination with a mechanical or fusion splicer. When compared to field-installed rapid termination or epoxy and polish connections, pre-terminated optical pigtails with connectors save time while providing improved performance and reliability.

The manner in which fiber optic cables are connected to the system is critical to the network’s success. Optical signals can travel across the fiber optic network with minimal attenuation and return loss if done correctly. Fiber optic pigtails are an excellent technique to link optical fibers, and they are employed in a high percentage of single-mode applications. This topic covers the fundamentals of fiber optic pigtails, such as pigtail connection types, fiber pigtail specifications, and fiber optic pigtail splicing techniques.

Fiber Pigtail Specifications

A fiber optic pigtail is a fiber optic cable with one end terminated with a factory-installed connector and the other end unterminated. As a result, the connector side can be connected to equipment, while the other side is fused in the case of fusion splicing and a mechanical connection in the case of mechanical splicing optical fiber cables. Fiber-optic pigtails are used to connect fiber-optic cables using fusion or mechanical splicing. High-quality pigtail cables, combined with proper fusion splicing techniques, provide the highest performance for fiber optic cable terminations. Fiber optic pigtails are commonly encountered in fiber optic management equipment such as an ODF (optical distribution frame), a fiber terminal box, and a distribution box.

Types of Fiber Optic Pigtails

There are several types of fiber optic pigtails available: pigtail connector types include LC fiber pigtails, SC fiber pigtails, and ST fiber pigtails, among others. There are two types of fiber optic pigtails: singlemode fiber optic pigtails and multimode fiber optic pigtails. In terms of fiber count, 6 and 12 fiber optic pigtails are available on the market.

Types of Fiber

Singlemode (colored yellow) and multimode (colored aqua or violet) fiber optic pigtails are available. Multimode fiber optic pigtails are made of 62.5/125 micron or 50/125-micron bulk multimode fiber cables that are terminated at one end with multimode fiber optic connectors. Fiber optic pigtails for 10G multimode fiber cables (OM3 Fiber Optic Pigtails or OM4) are also available. Typically, the jacket color of 10G OM3 Fiber Optic Pigtails and OM4 fiber optic pigtails is aqua. Singlemode fiber pigtail cables are made of 9/125 micron singlemode fiber cable and are terminated at one end with single-mode fiber connectors.

Choosing the Right Fiber Pigtail

When choosing a fiber pigtail, there are several factors to consider, including:

Compatibility: The pigtail must be compatible with the optical components that it will be connecting.

Length: The pigtail must be the correct length to accommodate the distance between the two optical components.

Connector type: The pigtail must have the same connector type as the optical components that it will be connecting.

Other factors: Other factors to consider may include the pigtail’s performance specifications, such as its attenuation and bandwidth.
