Pre-terminated fiber cable assemblies with one connectorized end and one bare fiber end for fusion splicing in ODFs, splice trays, terminal boxes, patch panels, FTTH distribution boxes, and telecom cabling systems.
Fiber optic pigtails are pre-terminated fiber cable assemblies with a connector on one end and exposed bare fiber on the other end for fusion splicing. They are widely used in ODFs, splice trays, fiber distribution boxes, terminal boxes, patch panels, telecom rooms, FTTH networks, and data center cabling projects. Common connector options include SC, LC, FC, and ST, with single-mode, multimode, UPC, APC, simplex, and customized length options available according to project requirements.

What is fiber optic pigtail?
A fiber optic pigtail is a short fiber cable with a connector on one end and bare fiber on the other end. It is used for fusion splicing inside ODFs, splice trays, terminal boxes, patch panels, FTTH distribution boxes, and telecom cabling systems.
Compare pigtail options to select the right type for your project.
| Requirement | SC Pigtail | LC Pigtail | FC Pigtail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Requirement | SC Pigtail | LC Pigtail | FC Pigtail |
| Interface | SC | LC | FC |
| Form Factor | Simplex/Duplex/Quad | Simplex/Duplex | Simplex/Duplex |
| Sleeve | Zirconia Ceramic | Zirconia Ceramic | Zirconia Ceramic |
| Best Pick | General purpose, cost-effective | High-density patching | Tight connection |
Typical structure of fiber optic pigtails. Final design depends on connector type, fiber mode, cable diameter, jacket material, polish type, and project requirement.
| Layer | Component | Material / Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Connector | SC / LC / FC / ST connector, selected according to ODF, patch panel, terminal box, or equipment interface |
| 2 | Ferrule | Ceramic ferrule for accurate fiber alignment and stable optical performance |
| 3 | Boot | Protects the cable exit point and reduces bending stress near the connector |
| 4 | Fiber Cable | Single-mode or multimode fiber, commonly 0.9mm, 2.0mm, or 3.0mm depending on installation requirement |
| 5 | Outer Jacket | PVC, LSZH, or other jacket material according to indoor wiring and project specification |
| 6 | Bare Fiber End | Unconnectorized fiber end used for fusion splicing inside ODFs, splice trays, terminal boxes, or distribution frames |
| 7 | Application | ODF, fiber distribution box, splice tray, patch panel, FTTH terminal box, telecom room, and data center cabling |
Typical values for reference. Final parameters depend on connector type, fiber mode, cable diameter, jacket, length, polish type, packaging, and customer specification.
