Single-mode Pigtail with LC Connector PIG-LC — No name

Single-mode fiber optic pigtail with LC connector (model PIG-LC) provides a single LC connection point for terminated and fusion-spliced single-mode fibers. The pigtail is intended for use where a permanent fiber end must be converted into a connectorised interface, enabling simple plug-and-play connections in fiber distribution panels, patch panels and fiber enclosures. It is designed for installations that require precise single-mode coupling and reliable optical continuity between field cabling and active equipment.

Advantages

The LC single-mode pigtail offers a compact, low-loss connector interface that simplifies fiber termination workflows by eliminating the need for field-polished connectors. Its small form-factor LC connector reduces port spacing on patch panels, and the factory-assembled ferrule and polished endface ensure consistent mating performance after fusion splicing. The pigtail’s single-mode fiber construction supports long-distance signal transmission with minimal attenuation and predictable optical characteristics.

Suitable for

• Terminating single-mode fiber in data center and telecom racks
• Creating LC port interfaces inside fiber distribution and patch panels
• Splicing field-run fiber to pre-connectorised cabling
• Deployments that require compact connector density and reliable single-mode links

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC (standard small-form-factor duplex or simplex depending on build)
• Fiber type: single-mode optical fiber
• Typical insertion loss: low (factory-polished ferrule for minimal loss)
• Endface polish: factory-polished for consistent mating
• Jacket and buffering: pigtail tail with stripped or buffered fiber ready for fusion splicing
• Operating application: suitable for indoor fiber distribution panels, patch panels, and enclosures

How to use

Prepare the field fiber by stripping and cleaning the buffer and cladding according to standard fiber preparation procedures. Perform fusion splicing between the prepared field fiber and the pigtail tail using a fusion splicer, ensuring proper alignment and splice protection with a splice sleeve. Route the pigtail connector to the desired panel or enclosure and secure the fiber and splice tray to prevent strain. Plug the LC connector into the corresponding LC adapter or transceiver port to establish the optical link, and test the connection with appropriate optical test equipment to verify insertion loss and continuity.

Usage recommendations

Handle the LC connector and exposed fiber with care, keep endfaces clean using approved fiber cleaning tools, and protect the fusion splice with a heat-shrink splice sleeve. Use strain relief and cable management inside panels to prevent bending below the fiber’s minimum bend radius and to maintain consistent optical performance.
