Pigtail Specifications Models and Color Chart

Fiber optic pigtails are available in various lengths, connector types, fiber types, and color-coded sets to ensure easy identification and high-performance network connectivity.SpecificationsFiber Type: Standard single-mode pigtails use G657A1 fiber, but other fiber types are available on request . Multimode options are also offered for specific applications .Connector Types: Common connectors include SC, LC, ST, FC, and APC variants. Single-mode APC connectors provide a minimum return loss of 60 dB .Buffer Diameter: Typical pigtails use 900-micron tight buffer for protection, with some kits offering 250-micron coated fiber .Lengths: Pigtails can be ordered in 0.5-meter increments up to 10 meters, and in 1-meter increments for lengths above 10 meters .Insertion Loss: Standard insertion loss is ≤0.25 dB, while low-loss pigtails are ≤0.15 dB .Durability: Connectors are rated for >500 matings, and pigtails meet Telcordia GR-326 and IEC 61300 standards .Environmental Protection: Tight-buffered construction provides mechanical and environmental protection, suitable for indoor and structured cabling systems .Models and ConfigurationsSimplex Pigtails: Single fiber per pigtail, ideal for standard patching and splicing .Multifiber Pigtails: Available in bunch, color-coded, or ribbon cable types, supporting multiple fibers for high-density applications .Kits: Pre-packaged pigtail kits include multiple fibers with part numbers, barcodes, and optical performance specifications for easy deployment .Customization: Fiber count, length, connector type, fiber grade, and cable diameter can be customized to meet specific network requirements .Color OptionsPigtails are supplied in sets of 6 or 12 colors for easy identification .6-color set: Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Grey, White.12-color set: Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Grey, White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet, Rose, Aqua .Color coding helps prevent incorrect patching and simplifies fiber management in panels and modules .ApplicationsFiber optic pigtails are widely used in FTTx, data centers, CATV, PON, WDM/DWDM networks, and structured cabling systems. They enable fusion and mechanical splicing, providing reliable, high-performance connections for both temporary and permanent installations . By selecting the appropriate fiber type, connector, length, and color-coded set, network designers and installers can ensure efficient deployment, easy maintenance, and compliance with industry standards.
