Factory connectors spliced into the cable
Single-mode and multimode with SC, LC, FC, or ST.
Factory-quality connectors fused to cable fibers for lower loss and more consistent terminations than field assembly.
Fittings and hardware
Fiber types, connectors, polish, color-coded sets, and bundled packs.
Single-mode pigtails
Used for GPON, FTTH, and long-distance networks.
Multimode pigtails
For shorter in-building links.
Connector options
SC, LC, FC, and ST.
Polish options
UPC and APC.
Color-coded pigtails
Matching standard fiber color codes for multi-fiber cables.
Bundled sets
Multiple pigtails for multi-fiber terminations.
Why purpose-made fittings matter.
Consistent factory quality, low loss, and reliable terminations that organize cleanly in splice trays.

Match to equipment and site.
Splicing
Pigtails are fusion spliced to cable fibers; splice protection sleeves and trays are needed.
Connector and polish
Match connector type and polish to adapters and patch cords downstream.
Fiber type
Match to the cable fiber, typically single-mode for GPON.
Enclosures
Mounted in ODFs, FATs, FDBs, and ATBs.
Patch cords
A patch cord plugs into the adapter that the pigtail feeds.
Decisions that get the choice right.
Connector and polish
Check what the rest of the network uses.
Fiber type
Match to your cable.
Length and diameter
Long enough to route neatly inside the enclosure.
Quantity
Plan one pigtail per fiber to be terminated.
Common questions
What is the difference between a pigtail and a patch cord?
A pigtail has a connector on one end only and is spliced into the system. A patch cord has connectors on both ends and plugs in.
Why not put a connector directly on the cable?
Splicing a factory-made pigtail usually gives lower loss and more consistent quality than field connector assembly.
Do I need a splicer to use pigtails?
Yes. Pigtails are joined to the cable fibers by fusion splicing.
