Optical Fiber Pigtail SC/APC SC/A-P-2.0 2.0 m Single‑Mode

SC/APC pigtail SC/A-P-2.0 is a 2.0 m single‑mode optical fiber pigtail with an SC/APC connector, designed for splicing and patch panel terminations. The assembly provides a factory‑polished connector end to ensure low insertion loss and consistent optical performance. Constructed for use in single‑mode networks, this pigtail supports precise alignment and stable mechanical connection between fiber trunks and active equipment.

Advantages

The SC/APC ferrule endface and single‑mode fiber core are polished to minimize return loss and maintain signal integrity in high‑performance links. At 2.0 m length the pigtail offers convenient reach for rack and cabinet routing without excess slack. The durable jacket protects the fiber during handling and splicing, while the standardized SC/APC connector ensures compatibility with APC receptacles used in telecommunication and FTTH equipment.

Suitable for

• Splicing operations in distribution frames and splice trays
• Termination of patch panels and fiber distribution units
• FTTH drop and inside‑plant connections requiring single‑mode links
• Data center fiber runs that use APC‑type mating interfaces

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single‑mode (SM)
• Connector type: SC/APC (angled physical contact)
• Length: 2.0 m
• Endface: Factory polished for low insertion and return loss
• Jacket: Durable protective outer jacket suitable for indoor cabling
• Typical application: Splice pigtail for patch panel termination

How to use

Prepare the trunk fiber and pigtail for fusion splicing by stripping, cleaning, and cleaving the fibers according to standard fiber preparation procedures. Secure the pigtail in the splice tray or holder, perform fusion splicing to the incoming fiber, and protect the splice with appropriate heat‑shrink tubing or splice protectors. Route the pigtail to the patch panel port and insert the SC/APC connector into the corresponding APC receptacle, ensuring correct key orientation. Verify optical performance with an optical power meter or OTDR as required.

Usage recommendations

Use SC/APC pigtails in networks where angled connectors are required to reduce back reflections; avoid mating APC and UPC types. Handle the polished connector end with a dust cap until installation, and perform endface inspection before final connection. Maintain proper bend radius during routing and secure excess length in the splice tray to prevent microbends.
