An FC pigtail bare fiber is a short optical fiber with a factory-terminated FC connector on one end and an exposed, unconnectorized fiber on the other, designed for splicing into a fiber optic network.

Definition and Structure

An F

C pigtail consists of a short length of optical fiber, typically 0. 5 to 2 meters, with a factory-installed FC connector on one end and a bare fiber on the other end for field splicing.

The F

C connector is a screw-on type, providing a secure and vibration-resistant connection, making it ideal for high-precision or high-vibration environments. The bare fiber end is intended for fusion or mechanical splicing to the main fiber cable in the field, ensuring a low-loss, permanent joint. ApplicationsFC pigtails are commonly used in: Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs) and patch panels for terminating multi-fiber cables.

Telecom and data center networks where high reliability and low insertion loss are critical. Testing and measurement setups where a stable, screw-on connection is required. AdvantagesFactory-quality connector ensures low insertion loss and high return loss.

Time-saving compared to field-terminated connectors, which require polishing and precise alignment. Flexibility to splice into any fiber system, accommodating both single-mode and multimode fibers. Durability in high-vibration or industrial environments due to the screw-on FC design.

Fiber Types and ConsiderationsFC pigtails are available in: Single-mode (OS1/OS2) for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications. Multimode (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4) for shorter-distance, high-speed LAN or data center networks. Polish types: UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) or APC (Angled Physical Contact) depending on the required return loss and reflection performance.

Summary

An F

C pigtail bare fiber combines the precision of a factory-terminated FC connector with the flexibility of a bare fiber for splicing. It is widely used in structured cabling, telecom, and data center environments to provide reliable, low-loss connections while simplifying installation and maintenance.
