    Our selection includes three main fiber variants: 9/125um single mode, 62. 5/125 multimode, and 50um OM3, OM4, and OM5. These pigtails feature premium-grade jackets and are equipped with LC, SC, ST, and FC connectors, typically with a 0. Common classification methods include fiber type, connector type, and structural form. For example, according to the fiber type, they can be divided into single-mode fiber optic pigtails and multi-mode fiber optic pigtails; according to the connector type, they can be divided into SC, LC, FC, ST. Executive Summary: A fiber optic pigtail is one of the most commonly specified yet least understood components in structured cabling. They are available separately or in kits for ease of installation and ordering. Simplex or multifiber pigtails are available. We also provide a full set of customized services, such as fiber counts. See our range of fibre optic pigtails in OS1, OM1, OM2 & OM3 below. A fiber optic pigtail is a short length of fiber cable with a factory-terminated connector on one end and a bare (stripped) fiber on the other, designed for fusion splicing to incoming fiber.
