Single-mode fiber pigtail with LC-APC connector, No name PIG-LC-APC

Single-mode fiber pigtail with an LC-APC connector (No name PIG-LC-APC) is designed for terminating and linking single-mode optical fibers in communication networks, patch panels and equipment racks. The pigtail provides an angled physical contact through its LC-APC connector to reduce back reflection, ensuring stable signal transmission in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) installations, enterprise networks and optical equipment interconnections.

Advantages

This single-mode pigtail combines a compact LC-APC connector with a factory-terminated fiber for consistent optical performance and repeatable terminations. The angled connector endface reduces return loss compared with flat connectors, improving link stability in systems sensitive to reflections. The pigtail format simplifies splicing and integration into patch panels or distribution frames, reducing on-site termination time and minimizing handling of bare fiber.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop and subscriber terminations
• Splicing to trunk fibers in distribution panels
• Connecting active optical equipment in enterprise racks
• Repair and replacement of damaged terminations

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode optical fiber
• Connector type: LC-APC angled physical contact
• Connector ferrule diameter: standard 1.25 mm
• Typical application: splicing, patching and equipment interconnection
• Cable format: pigtail with bare fiber tail for fusion splicing
• Return loss: optimized for low back reflection due to APC geometry

How to use

Prepare the installation by measuring and routing the pigtail to the splice tray or patch panel location. Strip and cleave the bare fiber tail following standard fiber preparation procedures, then fusion-splice the pigtail to the network fiber or secure the connector in the adapter if testing or temporary connection is required. For rack or panel installations, secure the pigtail within a splice tray or cable management system to prevent bend radius violations and mechanical stress on the splice.

Usage recommendations

Handle the LC-APC connector and bare fiber with care to avoid contamination; always use lint-free wipes and approved fiber cleaning tools before mating connectors. Maintain recommended minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber, and protect splices with heat-shrink tubing or splice protectors. Verify optical continuity and insertion loss after installation using an optical power meter or OTDR according to the network acceptance procedures.
