Optical pigtail

An Optical pigtail is a short cable, typically no longer than two meters. It is used to create a detachable connection between optical transmission lines and various types of equipment.

Design and Functionality of an Optical Pigtail

One side of the pigtail is fitted with a connector designed to interface with devices like routers, modems, and other network hardware.
The opposite end is intended for fusion splicing or a fixed mechanical connection to the incoming optical line.

Where is it used?

An Optical pigtail is in demand in various fields related to data transmission:

Telecommunications: For connecting equipment in data transmission networks and fiber optic communication lines.
Data Centers (DCs): Maintain stable connections in environments with a large concentration of network devices.
Industrial Environments: Utilized in challenging conditions where stability and protection from external factors are required.
FTTH Systems: Applied for connecting homes and offices to high-speed internet.

Types

An optical pigtail varies by fiber type, connector type, and end-face polishing:

• Fiber Category:

Single-mode (SM) for long distances, Multimode (MM) for short distances.

• Connector Variation:

LC, SC, FC, ST – each serving specific network needs.

• End-Face Polishing:

UPC for standard use, APC for minimal signal reflection.

Therefore, to buy an optical pigtail, you should first understand your specific requirements.
