Overview

Optical fiber pigtails are recommended or sometimes required when there is a need to make a transition from thin buffered fibers (250-900 ?m), typical for distribution cables and not suitable for direct optical fiber connector termination, to cross-connection or equipment connection points. Pigtails mechanically or fusion connected to the distribution cable fibers simplify cabling system installation and servicing significantly.

?

Signamax pigtails are manufactured to meet TIA, IEC and Telcordia standard requirements. Signamax pigtails based on 900-?m buffered white cable are available in multimode (62.5-?m (OM1), 50-?m (OM2, OM3, and OM4)) and singlemode, ST, SC, FC and LC ver-sions.

Key Features

• ST, SC, FC, and LC connector types
