Single-mode fiber pigtail with SC-APC connector PIG-SC-APC (No name)

Single-mode fiber pigtail with SC-APC connector PIG-SC-APC is designed to provide a reliable single-mode fiber interface for terminations and splice connections in optical networks. The assembly includes a factory-polished fiber terminated with an SC-APC angled physical contact connector to minimize back reflection and improve signal quality where low return loss is required. It is intended for use in splice trays, patch panels, distribution boxes and direct equipment interconnection in telecommunication and data networks.

Advantages

This pigtail features an SC-APC connector with angled end-face geometry to reduce reflectance and support stable signal transmission in single-mode links. Factory termination ensures consistent connector quality and reduces installation time compared with field-terminated fibers. The compact design facilitates routing and organization inside splice enclosures and patch panels while maintaining mechanical protection for the fiber.

Suitable for

• Fiber optic splicing and fusion splice terminations
• Installation in patch panels and fiber distribution boxes
• Interconnection between fiber equipment in telecom and data centers
• FTTx drop and building backbone cabling where angled connectors are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector type: SC-APC (angled physical contact)
• Polish: APC angled end-face for reduced back reflection
• Typical use: pigtail for splicing or panel termination
• Jacket/boot: compact protective boot for routing in enclosures

How to use

Prepare the fiber cable and splice tray according to standard optical fiber handling and safety procedures. Secure the pigtail in the splice tray, perform fusion splicing or mechanical splicing between the pigtail fiber and the incoming fiber, and protect the splice with appropriate heat-shrink or splice protector. Route the pigtail cable toward the patch panel or connector adapter, and insert the SC-APC connector into the corresponding adapter while ensuring correct orientation for the angled key. Verify optical continuity and signal loss with an optical power meter or OTDR after termination.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the housing only and avoid touching the ferrule end-face. Clean connector end-faces before mating using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Use protective dust caps when connectors are not in use. Follow recommended bend-radius limits for single-mode fiber and store excess length in the splice tray to prevent strain on the splice.
