Fiber Optic Pigtail

A fiber pigtail is a solitary, short, typically close supported, optical fiber that has an optical connector pre-introduced toward one side and a length of uncovered fiber at the opposite end.

The finish of the pigtail is stripped and combination joined to a solitary fiber of a multi-fiber trunk. Grafting of braids to every fiber in the storage compartment "breaks out" the multi-fiber link into its part filaments for association with the end gear.

Pigtails can have female or male connectors. Female connectors could be mounted in a fix board, regularly two by two albeit single-fiber arrangements exist, to permit them to be associated with endpoints or other fiber runs with fix strands. Then again they can have male connectors and attachment straightforwardly into an optical transceiver.
