Single-mode fiber pigtail SC‑APC connector, No name PIG‑SC‑APC‑2, single fiber, pre-terminated

Single-mode fiber pigtail with an SC‑APC connector is a pre-terminated single-fiber cable intended for splicing or termination in fiber optic distribution panels. The No name PIG‑SC‑APC‑2 pigtail provides a single-mode connection with an angled physical contact (APC) SC connector to minimize return loss and ensure stable optical performance in telecommunication, FTTH and data center environments.

Advantages

This pre-terminated pigtail reduces field termination time by eliminating connector assembly on-site and ensures consistent connector geometry thanks to factory termination. The SC‑APC interface delivers low back reflection, which is important for single-mode transmission systems and equipment sensitive to return loss. The compact single-fiber design simplifies routing within splice trays and patch panels and is compatible with standard fusion splicing and fiber management accessories.

Suitable for

• Splicing to single-mode distribution cables in telecom networks
• FTTH drop and customer premise terminations
• Patching and termination inside rack-mounted fiber panels in data centers
• Laboratory and test setups requiring low return-loss single-mode connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode optical fiber
• Connector type: SC with angled physical contact (APC)
• Configuration: single fiber, pre-terminated pigtail
• Cable format: pigtail designed for fusion splicing or mechanical splicing to trunk cables
• Typical application environment: indoor splice trays, patch panels, customer premises and equipment rooms

How to use

Prepare the trunk or distribution cable by stripping and cleaving the fiber according to standard fiber preparation procedures. Place the pigtail in the splice tray and align the factory-terminated fiber with the prepared fiber using a fusion splicer or approved mechanical splice. After splicing, secure the splice with appropriate protection and route the pigtail’s connector to the patch panel or adapter plate. Insert the SC‑APC connector into a compatible APC adapter, ensuring the angled key aligns correctly to maintain low return loss.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate fiber handling tools, dust caps and adapters to protect the SC‑APC connector end-face. Verify optical continuity and measure insertion loss and return loss after splicing and mating to confirm compliance with system requirements. Store unused pigtails in a clean, dry environment and avoid tight bends to preserve fiber performance.
