Optical fiber pigtail electro base SC/UPC single-mode 2.0 m SC/U-P-2.0

The optical fiber pigtail SC/UPC single-mode 2.0 m from electro base is a pre-terminated fiber lead intended for splicing and connecting single-mode fiber lines to equipment with SC/UPC ports. The product provides a fixed 2.0 m length with a factory-polished SC/UPC connector on one end and bare fiber on the other end for fusion or mechanical splicing, offering a straightforward solution for installations, testing, and repairs that require low-loss single-mode links.

Advantages

This single-mode pigtail ensures consistent optical performance through factory-controlled connector polishing and connector housing alignment. The pre-terminated SC/UPC connector reduces onsite termination time and minimizes handling errors compared with field-assembled connectors. A controlled fiber length and durable outer jacket simplify routing and protect the fiber during splice preparation, while the polished-up physical contact (UPC) geometry provides low return loss suitable for many telecom and data applications.

Suitable for

• Splicing single-mode trunk or distribution fibers to patch panels or equipment with SC/UPC ports
• Fiber-optic testing, commissioning and insertion into test jigs or measurement setups
• Repairs and short-term replacements where a pre-terminated, fixed-length connection is required
• Data center, central office and premises wiring where SC/UPC termination is specified

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector on terminated end: SC/UPC
• Length: 2.0 m
• End preparation: factory-polished UPC ferrule
• Cable form: pigtail with bare fiber for splicing on one end
• Typical applications: splicing, patching, testing

How to use

Route the pigtail to the intended splice enclosure or splice tray and secure the jacket to a strain-relief point. Prepare the existing fiber and the pigtail bare fiber according to standard splicing procedures (cleaving and cleaning). Perform fusion or mechanical splice following equipment manufacturer instructions, then protect the splice with appropriate heat-shrink sleeves or splice protectors. Insert the pre-terminated SC/UPC connector into the corresponding SC adapter or device port, verifying correct insertion and secure seating. After installation, perform optical loss and return loss tests to confirm link performance.

Usage recommendations

Handle the bare fiber and ferrule surface with care to avoid contamination; use lint-free wipes and appropriate cleaning fluids for connector end-face cleaning. Store unused pigtails in protective packaging and avoid tight bends below the fiber minimum bend radius. Use proper strain relief and secure routing within splice enclosures to prevent mechanical stress on the splice points and connector.
