Single-mode pigtail with FC connector PIG-FC by No name

Single-mode pigtail with FC connector PIG-FC by No name is a pre-terminated optical fiber assembly designed for single-mode networks. It provides a factory-polished FC connector on one end and a prepared bare fiber on the other for fusion splicing, enabling a permanent, low-loss termination point. The product is intended for use where a fixed connector interface is required to link single-mode fiber runs to equipment with FC ports, patch panels, or distribution frames in telecommunications and data center environments.

Advantages

The pigtail delivers consistent optical performance through a factory-installed FC connector and polished endface, reducing field termination variability. Its single-mode fiber construction supports long-distance, low-attenuation links. The prepared bare fiber end simplifies fusion splicing, shortening installation time and improving joint quality compared with on-site connectorization. The compact design and standard FC interface ensure compatibility with a wide range of network devices and fiber adaptors.

Suitable for

• Creating permanent terminations in single-mode backbone and feeder cables
• Splicing to incoming single-mode fiber runs in patch panels and distribution frames
• Connecting single-mode equipment with FC ports in telecom and data center racks
• Laboratory testing and fiber lab setups requiring standardized FC connectors

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode optical fiber
• Connector type (installed): FC, factory-polished
• Termination style: pigtail with prepared bare fiber for fusion splicing
• Typical application: indoor telecommunications and data center cabling
• Connector ferrule material: ceramic (standard for FC connectors)

How to use

Route the single-mode fiber pigtail to the splice tray or designated splice point and secure the cable according to site cabling practices. Perform fusion splicing between the pigtail’s prepared bare fiber and the incoming fiber following the splicer manufacturer’s instructions. After splicing, protect the joint with appropriate heat-shrink protection and place the splice assembly into the splice tray. Install the FC connector end into the equipment’s FC adapter or patch panel port ensuring proper alignment and secure connection.

Usage recommendations

Handle the pigtail by the buffered fiber or jacket to avoid contaminating the FC connector endface; clean the connector with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Use a certified fusion splicer and follow workplace safety and ESD procedures. Verify insertion loss and return loss after installation with an optical power meter or OTDR to confirm acceptable performance.
