EFB Elektronik Fiber Pigtail SC/APC OS2 G657A2 2m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik Fiber Pigtail SC/APC OS2 G657A2 is a high-performance fiber optic component designed for precise network termination. Featuring a 2-meter length and a durable yellow jacket, this single-mode pigtail utilizes G657A2 bend-insensitive fiber, which allows for tighter installation radii without compromising signal integrity. Each unit is equipped with a factory-terminated SC/APC connector, ensuring low insertion loss and high return loss for demanding telecommunications and data center applications.

Advantages

This fiber pigtail offers exceptional reliability due to its bend-insensitive G657A2 fiber construction, making it ideal for environments where space is limited and cable management is complex. The inclusion of a numeric connector coding from 1 to 12 significantly simplifies port allocation and maintenance tasks. Furthermore, each pigtail is supplied with an individual measuring protocol, guaranteeing that the product meets strict quality standards before installation. The 900µ primary coating matches the secondary coating color, providing consistent identification throughout the fiber network.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications infrastructure
• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network deployments
• Data center cross-connects
• Patch panel terminations
• Compact fiber management systems

When it may not be suitable

This pigtail is not suitable for multi-mode fiber networks, as it is specifically designed for OS2 single-mode applications. Additionally, it is intended for indoor use and should not be deployed in harsh outdoor environments without appropriate protective enclosures.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OS2 G657A2 single-mode
• Connector type: SC/APC
• Length: 2 meters
• Coating diameter: 900µ
• Color: Yellow
• Identification: Numeric connector coding 1-12

How to use

To use the pigtail, carefully remove the individual packaging to prevent contamination of the connector ferrule. The pigtail is designed to be spliced onto a backbone cable using a fusion splicer. Once spliced, the SC/APC connector can be inserted into a corresponding adapter in a patch panel or distribution box. Ensure the connector is clean before insertion to maintain optimal signal performance. Use the numeric coding on the connector to track and organize your connections according to your network documentation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment supports SC/APC connectors.
• Ensure the OS2 single-mode fiber is compatible with your existing network infrastructure.
• Check if the 2-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack or enclosure layout.
• Confirm that your fusion splicing equipment is compatible with G657A2 fiber.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect and clean the fiber connector end-face with an approved fiber cleaning tool before every connection to ensure maximum signal quality and prevent damage to the equipment ports.
