Extralink SC/APC Single-mode Fiber Optic Pigtail 1.5m G.652D 250um

The Extralink SC/APC Single-mode Fiber Optic Pigtail 1.5m G.652D 250um is a reliable optical network component designed for telecommunication infrastructure and fiber management systems. Featuring an SC/APC connector on one end and an open fiber end for splicing on the other, this 1.5-meter FTTH cable ensures stable data transmission and high performance. Built with G.652D single-mode fiber and a 250um buffer, it is engineered to meet the demands of modern fiber optic networks.

Advantages

This fiber optic pigtail offers high performance and signal stability for critical network connections. The SC/APC connector provides a low insertion loss and high return loss due to its angled physical contact polish, which minimizes back reflection. The compact 1.5-meter length helps reduce cable clutter in enclosures, and the G.652D fiber type ensures compatibility with standard single-mode telecommunication systems.

Suitable for

• FTTH network installations
• Fiber optic splicing in patch panels and distribution boxes
• Telecommunication infrastructure management
• Local area networks and data transmission applications

When it may not be suitable

This pigtail is not designed for direct multi-mode fiber connections or applications requiring a connector on both ends, as one end is open for splicing. It may also be unsuitable for outdoor direct burial without proper protective conduits or enclosures.

Key specifications

• SC/APC connector
• Single-mode fiber
• G.652D fiber type
• 250um buffer
• 1.5m cable length
• FTTH cable type
• High-Density Polyethylene jacket material

How to use

To use the Extralink fiber optic pigtail, prepare the open end of the fiber for fusion splicing or mechanical splicing with the incoming distribution cable. Clean the SC/APC connector thoroughly using specialized optical cleaning tools before plugging it into a compatible adapter, patch panel, or active network equipment. Ensure the cable is routed carefully within management trays to avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing equipment uses SC/APC connectors and single-mode G.652D fiber.
• Check if the 1.5-meter length is sufficient for routing from the splice tray to your equipment.
• Ensure you have the necessary fusion splicer and tools for terminating the open pigtail end.

Always maintain proper cleaning procedures for optical connectors and protect the open fiber end from dust and damage prior to splicing to ensure optimal network performance.
