Single-Fiber Pigtails

OVERVIEW

Optical fiber pigtails are recommended or sometimes required when there is a need to make a transition from thin buffered fibers (250-900 µm), typical for distribution cables and not suitable for direct optical fiber connector termination, to cross-connection or equipment connection points. Pigtails mechanically or fusion connected to the distribution cable fibers simplify cabling system installation and servicing significantly.

Signamax pigtails are manufactured to meet TIA, IEC and Telcordia standard requirements. Signamax pigtails based on 900-µm buffered white cable are available in multimode (62.5-µm (OM1), 50-µm (OM2, OM3, and OM4)) and singlemode, ST, SC, FC and LC ver-sions.
