Page Content

Extended FC pigtail connectors are available in custom lengths for singlemode and multimode fibers, offering secure screw-on connections with low insertion loss and optional APC or PC polish.

Overview

An FC pigtail is a short fiber optic cable with a factory-installed FC connector on one end and an exposed fiber on the other for splicing. The FC connector features a screw-on mechanism, providing a highly secure connection, which is ideal for high-vibration environments or testing equipment . Extended versions of FC pigtails are simply longer lengths of these cables, allowing for more flexible routing and easier integration into network setups.

Types and Specifications

  • Fiber Mode: Available in singlemode (9/125µm OS2) for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications, and multimode (50/125µm OM2, OM3, OM4) for shorter distances within buildings or campuses .
  • Polish Type:
    • FC/PC (Physical Contact): Standard polish with low back reflection, suitable for general applications.
    • FC/APC (Angled Physical Contact): 8° angled polish that minimizes back reflection, required for RF video or high-precision optical systems .
  • Cable Jacket: Typically yellow for singlemode and orange or aqua for multimode, with 0.9mm pigtail fiber and optional 250µm coating for color-coded identification .
  • Length Options: Standard pigtails are often 1–2 meters, but custom lengths can be requested from manufacturers to suit specific installation needs .

Applications

Extended FC pigtails are commonly used in:

  • Telecom and data centers for connecting optical cables to patch panels or transceivers.
  • FTTx deployments where longer pigtails simplify splicing and routing.
  • High-vibration environments such as industrial or mobile setups, where the screw-on FC connector ensures a stable connection.
  • Testing and measurement setups requiring precise, low-loss connections.

Customization

Many suppliers offer custom lengths and special configurations for FC pigtails. You can specify:

  • Fiber type (singlemode or multimode)
  • Connector polish (PC or APC)
  • Jacket color and diameter
  • Length beyond standard 2 meters for extended reach This flexibility allows network engineers to optimize fiber routing and reduce splicing complexity while maintaining high-performance optical connections. In summary, extended FC pigtail connectors provide the same secure, low-loss connection as standard FC pigtails but with longer cable lengths for enhanced installation flexibility, available in both singlemode and multimode fibers with PC or APC polish options .
