How to classify pigtails and pigtail cables

Most commonly used types are SC/APC pigtail, FC/APC pigtail and MU/UPC pigtail. Fiber optic pigtail is a fiber optic cable terminated with a factory-installed connector on one end, leaving the other end terminated. Pigtail patch cords are utilized to terminate fiber optic. Fiber pigtails are simple in appearance, yet essential in function. By combining factory-installed connectors with spliced bare fiber, pigtails ensure that network installers can create. A pigtail fiber indicates a short length of optical fiber cable that has a pigtail connector (for example, SC, FC, ST, LC, etc. ) fitted on one end and the other end undressed (for connection through fusion or splicing) to the main fiber optic cable.
