Fiber optic pigtail LANBERG SC/APC single-mode (9/125 G.657.A1), semi-tight 2 m, yellow

LANBERG fiber optic pigtail with SC/APC connector and single-mode 9/125 µm (G.657.A1) fiber, semi-tight buffer construction and 2 m length. Designed for splicing and rack or patch panel terminations, this pigtail provides a low-loss single-mode connection suitable for fiber networks, data centers and telecommunications installations. The yellow jacket and SC/APC angled-polished connector allow clear identification and reduced back reflection in single-mode links.

Advantages

The semi-tight buffer offers a balance between flexibility and protection, simplifying handling during fusion splicing while maintaining fiber integrity. The SC/APC connector features an angled polish to reduce return loss, improving performance in sensitive single-mode applications. Compliance with G.657.A1 ensures improved bend performance compared with older single-mode fiber types, reducing signal degradation in confined routing paths.

Suitable for

• Fusion splicing to trunk cables and breakouts in telecom and fiber-to-the-desk installations
• Termination in rack-mounted patch panels and wall outlets
• Single-mode backbone links in data centers and enterprise networks
• Fiber installations requiring low back reflection, such as passive optical networks and certain measurement setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC/APC, angled polish for low return loss
• Fiber type: single-mode optical fiber 9/125 µm, G.657.A1
• Buffer: semi-tight buffer construction for straightforward splicing and handling
• Length: 2 m overall pigtail length
• Jacket color: yellow for single-mode identification

How to use

Prepare the pigtail by stripping the outer jacket and buffer according to standard fusion-splicing procedures, cleave the fiber end to the required specification and perform fusion splicing to the installed fiber. After splicing, secure the splice with appropriate protection sleeves and organize the pigtail in the patch panel or fiber management tray. Plug the SC/APC connector into the corresponding SC/APC adapter or port, ensuring the angled key and connector orientation match the panel adapter.

Usage recommendations

Handle the fiber carefully to avoid microbends and excessive tensile stress; maintain recommended minimum bend radius for G.657.A1 fiber. Use proper cleaning procedures for connector endfaces and verify insertion loss and return loss after installation with appropriate test equipment.
