OM4 pigtail ACT SC 50/125µm 1m

The ACT SC 50/125µm OM4 pigtail is a single‑fiber optical lead designed for precise and reliable connections in multimode network environments. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM4 graded‑index fiber construction, this 1 meter pigtail provides a short, factory‑terminated SC connector for quick integration into patch panels, splice trays, and distribution frames. The component is intended to support high data rates and dense deployments where controlled insertion loss and consistent performance are required.

Advantages

The pigtail offers low attenuation and improved modal bandwidth associated with OM4 fiber, enabling better reach and throughput compared with lower‑grade multimode fibers. The SC connector provides a push‑pull mating design that simplifies handling and rackside installation. A 1 meter length balances flexibility for routing with minimal excess fiber that can complicate management in confined cabinets and enclosures.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and backbone connections
• Telecommunication equipment and patch panel terminations
• High‑speed LAN and SAN multimode links
• Fiber splicing and fiber management systems

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode, graded‑index
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector: SC, factory‑terminated
• Length: 1 m
• Typical insertion loss: low multimode class performance (refer to system links for exact values)
• Jacket and buffer: suitable for indoor installations and fiber management

How to use

Route the pigtail within the rack or enclosure avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to maintain the specified bend radius for multimode fiber. Secure the fiber within splice trays or cable management channels and mate the SC connector into the corresponding adapter or transceiver port until it clicks into place. For splicing, strip and prepare the fiber according to standard procedures and perform fusion or mechanical splicing as required; the factory‑terminated SC connector is ready for immediate use with compatible multimode hardware.

Usage recommendations

Handle the OM4 pigtail following standard fiber‑optic best practices: keep connector endfaces clean using approved cleaning tools and wipes, avoid exceeding recommended bend radii, and protect exposed ends with dust caps until installation. For optimal link performance, verify insertion loss and continuity after installation and use appropriate multimode transceivers and patching infrastructure sized for OM4 bandwidth.
