OM3 Pigtail ACT LC 50/125µm 1m

The ACT LC 50/125µm OM3 pigtail is a 1-metre multimode fibre optic pigtail engineered for integration into OM3 networks. It features a 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and LC connectors, providing a compact duplex termination compatible with standard LC ports. The single-metre length is suitable for short runs inside equipment racks, patch panels and fibre splice enclosures where controlled, low-loss connections are required.

Advantages

This OM3 pigtail offers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance across multimode links. The LC connector design yields a small form factor that conserves panel space and allows high-density terminations. Manufactured to multimode tolerances, the pigtail supports stable signal transmission and straightforward fusion-splicing or connectorised termination workflows.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and rack-mounted fibre terminations
• Splice enclosures and fusion-splice preparation
• Short multimode links in data centres and telecom rooms
• High-speed network segments using OM3 multimode fibre

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC (both ends)
• Length: 1 metre
• Polish type: typically UPC (standard for multimode LC connectors)
• Cable jacket: indoor-rated multimode jacket suitable for patching

How to use

Route the 1 m pigtail inside the rack or splice enclosure to the desired termination point, avoiding tight bends and securing the cable with suitable clips or organisers. If fusion splicing, strip and cleave the fibre according to the splicer manufacturer instructions, perform the fusion splice, protect the splice with a heat-shrink sleeve and manage the excess fibre within the enclosure. If using pre-terminated LC connectors, insert the LC plugs into compatible adapters or transceivers, ensuring proper alignment and a clean connector end-face for minimal insertion loss.

Usage recommendations

Handle the pigtail by the connector and the jacket; avoid touching or contaminating the fibre end-face. Use appropriate cleaning tools and inspection equipment to verify connector cleanliness before mating. Maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for multimode fibre and store unused pigtails in protective packaging to prevent damage.
