Product Overview

FOT LC/UPC single-mode pigtails give splicing crews a factory-terminated connector on one end and bare fiber on the other — ready for fusion splicing at ODFs, splice closures and FTTx access points, with performance guaranteed by machine polishing instead of field termination.

Standard TIA-598 12-color sets keep fiber identification instant inside trays; 0.9 mm tight-buffered construction strips cleanly and loads easily into splice sleeves. Each pigtail is interferometer-checked and loss-tested to ≤0.3 dB.

Available in simplex or bundled 6/12-fiber kits, in OS2/OM3/OM4 and every common connector, with custom lengths under OEM/ODM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use factory pigtails instead of field-terminating connectors?

Machine polishing in the factory yields consistent geometry and low loss that field polishing cannot match. Fusion-splicing a tested pigtail is faster, more reliable and easier to certify than terminating connectors on site.

What is the difference between UPC and APC polish?

UPC connectors have a domed end-face giving return loss ≥50 dB — ideal for most Ethernet and data links. APC connectors are polished at an 8° angle for ≥60 dB return loss, preferred for PON/CATV, RF-over-fiber and other reflection-sensitive systems.

Are the patch cords tested before shipment?

Every assembly undergoes 100% optical inspection plus insertion- and return-loss testing to IEC, TIA/EIA and Telcordia standards. Test reports are available on request.

Can length, color, jacket and connectors be customized?

Yes — length, jacket color and material (PVC / LSZH / OFNP / OFNR), cable diameter (0.9 / 2.0 / 3.0 mm) and any connector combination are OEM/ODM customizable.

What are your MOQ and lead time?

Standard configurations ship in 3–7 days with flexible MOQ. Custom OEM/ODM runs are quoted per project — send us your specs for a fast quotation.
