Explore FS Fiber Pigtail Family

Simplex Pigtails

Simplex pigtails are fiber optic cables consisting of a single strand of fiber with a connector pre-installed at one end. Simplex pigtails are available in different fiber types, such as single-mode pigtails or multimode pigtails, to suit specific transmission requirements.

FS simplex single-mode pigtails comply with the G.657.A1 standard. These single-mode pigtails are designed with a 10mm minimum bend radius, ensuring enhanced flexibility and ease of installation. For multimode pigtails, we utilize Bend-Insensitive Fiber (BIF), which has a smaller bend radius of 7.5mm. This fiber type enables efficient transmission even in high-density splicing applications where space is limited.

Unjacketed Color-coded Pigtails

Color-coded pigtails are fiber optic pigtails that incorporate a color-coding system to identify and differentiate individual fibers easily. Each fiber within the pigtail is assigned a unique color, typically achieved by coating the fiber or using colored buffer tubes. The color coding follows industry-standard color schemes, such as the TIA-598 or IEC-60793-1 standards.

Faster connector identification with color-coded pigtail avoids incorrect patching by possible fiber flipping. Technicians can quickly and accurately connect fibers to their corresponding counterparts in patch panels, splice enclosures, or other network components.

Bunch pigtails

Bunch pigtails consist of multiple individual fibers bundled together in a single jacket. These fibers are typically color-coded for easy identification. Bunch pigtails are utilized for precise alignment of fiber optic components and are commonly deployed in fiber distribution panels and interconnect modules. They provide a convenient and organized solution for fiber splicing, allowing for efficient management and connection of multiple fibers.

Ribbon Pigtails

Ribbon pigtails are similar to bunch pigtails but have a distinct structure. Instead of individual fibers, ribbon pigtails consist of multiple fibers arranged side by side and held together with a matrix material. These fibers are typically flat and aligned in a ribbon-like formation.

Ribbon pigtails offer a compact size, lightweight design, and high efficiency, which significantly reduces the cost associated with field fusion splicing. Ribbon pigtails are capable of simultaneously connecting multiple fibers, making them suitable for high-density fiber connections in environments like data centers, fiber distribution frames, and fiber switches.
