What Is a Fiber Optic Pigtail?
A fiber optic pigtail is a short optical fiber cable with a factory-installed connector on one end and an exposed fiber on the other. The exposed end is typically fusion spliced to a fiber cable, enabling a secure and low-loss connection to network devices such as patch panels, switches, or transceivers. Pigtails are available in various configurations, including single-mode and multimode fibers, and connector types like SC, LC, FC, and ST, to suit different networking requirements.
Structure and Types
Fiber pigtails come in different structures to accommodate diverse applications:
Simplex and Duplex: Simplex pigtails contain a single fiber, while duplex pigtails have two fibers, allowing for bidirectional communication.
Armored and Waterproof: Armored pigtails feature a protective layer to resist physical damage, making them suitable for harsh environments. Waterproof pigtails are designed with sealing materials to prevent moisture ingress, ideal for outdoor installations.
Fiber Counts: Pigtails are available in various fiber counts, such as 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, and 48 strands, to meet specific network design needs.
Applications
Fiber optic pigtails are widely used across multiple sectors:
Telecommunications: Connecting high-speed internet, voice, and video services over long distances.
Data Centers: Linking servers, storage systems, and networking equipment for efficient data transmission.
Fiber to the Home (FTTH): Providing high-speed internet access to residential and commercial customers.
Industrial Automation: Connecting sensors and control systems in manufacturing environments, where reliability and resistance to electromagnetic interference are crucial.
Security and Surveillance: Transmitting high-definition video feeds from cameras to monitoring centers in large-scale security systems.
Our Manufacturing and Quality Assurance
Our production process ensures that each fiber pigtail meets stringent quality standards:
Fiber Preparation: Selecting high-quality optical fibers and stripping the protective coatings.
Connectorization: Attaching connectors using precise epoxy injection and curing methods.
Polishing: Polishing the connector end-faces to achieve optimal signal transmission characteristics.
Inspection: Examining end-faces under microscopes with magnification over 400x to ensure they are free of scratches, cracks, or contaminants.
Testing: Measuring insertion loss and return loss to verify performance meets industry standards.
Packaging: Securely packaging products to prevent damage during transportation.
We conduct 100% quality inspection on all products, ensuring reliability and performance.
