Optical Pigtail E2000/APC LSH/APC 9/125 2m G657A EASY STRIP LSZH Yellow

The Optical Pigtail E2000/APC LSH/APC 9/125 2m G657A EASY STRIP Yellow is a high-quality fiber optic solution designed for precision network installations. It is primarily utilized for terminating optical cables within optical trays and distribution boxes, ensuring reliable signal transmission in single-mode fiber optic infrastructures. Featuring a standardized 9/125 OS2 G.657A1 fiber type, this pigtail incorporates an EASY STRIP design that simplifies handling and preparation during installation. The bright yellow sheath allows for easy identification in dense wiring environments.

Advantages

This optical pigtail provides exceptional signal integrity and low insertion loss thanks to the precise APC grinding on the connectors. The G.657A1 bend-insensitive fiber ensures stable performance even when routed through tight corners or limited spaces within distribution enclosures. The LSZH sheath enhances safety by emitting low smoke and zero halogen during combustion, making it suitable for indoor building installations. Furthermore, the E2000/APC LSH/APC connector interface guarantees a secure connection with integrated dust protection shutters.

Suitable for

• Terminating single-mode fiber optic cables in distribution boxes
• Setting up connections in optical trays and patch panels
• Enterprise LAN and telecommunication network installations
• Indoor routing requiring bend-insensitive OS2 fiber

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for harsh outdoor environments lacking protective enclosures, as it features no external armoring to withstand direct burial or heavy mechanical stress. It may also be incompatible with systems requiring standard UPC polishing due to the specific APC angled physical contact finish.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode SM 9/125 OS2 G.657A1
• Connector types: E2000/APC (LSH/APC)
• Cable length: 2 meters
• Sheath material: LSZH Low Smoke Zero Halogen
• Color: Yellow
• Secondary protection: Loose buffer

How to use

To use the optical pigtail, first ensure the installation environment is clean and free of dust or debris. Strip the outer LSZH sheath carefully using appropriate fiber preparation tools, making use of the EASY STRIP feature for efficient outer layer removal. Splice the bare fiber end of the pigtail to the incoming distribution cable using a fusion splicer. Finally, clean the E2000/APC connector end face with an approved optical cleaner before plugging it into the corresponding adapter or port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing equipment and patch panels utilize E2000/APC compatible adapters
• Confirm the required length is adequate for your distribution box routing path
• Check whether your network architecture requires single-mode OS2 G.657A1 fiber specifications

Always inspect and clean optical connectors with specialized cleaning tools before mating to maintain optimal network performance and prevent contamination.
