How to choose the Proper fiber optic pigtail -Fiber Optic pigtail purchase guide


With the development of the communication industry, the network environment is becoming more and more complicated, and an efficient and fast method is needed to realize the fiber termination. In addition to fiber optic connectors, fiber pigtails can quickly achieve this goal. This article will introduce the basics of fiber pigtail and the type of fiber pigtail to provide you with guidance on pigtail selection.

What is fiber pigtail?

Fbier pigtail, also known as bare fiber, only one end of the connection fiber optic connector, the other end no connector, so the connector can be connected to one end of the device, such as fiber optic transceivers or fiber converters, and the other side can be welded with fiber optic cable. In addition, the fiber pigtail has a similar structure to the fiber jumper, and sometimes the technician may need to cut the fiber jumper from the middle to get two pigtails. Fiber pigtail is usually used for fiber management equipment (such as ODF fiber patch panel), connector box and cross-cabinet.

LC fiber pigtail: As the name suggests, this fiber pigtail using LC connector. At present, the LC connector is one of the most common type of connector in the world. It has a low cost and high precision 1.25mm outer diameter ceramic ferrule for high density installation. At the same time, Rollball provides a new fiber pigtail-keyed pigtail, which has a different color and can only be connected to adapters of the same color, for privacy or security issues The organization of the isolated network provides mechanical network security.

FC fiber pigtail: pigtail using metal FC connector, FC connector for the spiral structure, with high-precision ceramic rings. FC fiber pigtail and its related products are widely used in communications applications.

MTRJ Fiber Pigtail - This pigtail uses an MTRJ connector designed for Fast Ethernet. This connector has double-sided micro-fiber, with MT and RJ45 connector features. MTRJ fiber pigtail is a small fiber-optic machine, suitable for high-density applications.

Of course, in addition to the above mentioned focus fiber pigtail, there are other types of fiber pigtails, such as SC, ST, MU and E2000, etc., these fiber pigtails in optical communication are playing an extremely important role.
