Pigtail OM4 ACT LC 50/125µm 1m

The ACT OM4 LC pigtail is a 1 m multimode fiber optic pigtail with a 50/125 µm core/cladding structure designed for high-bandwidth short-range networks. Equipped with an LC connector, this pigtail offers precise alignment and stable optical performance for splicing or patch panel termination in data center, telecom and enterprise cabling environments. Manufactured to match OM4 modal bandwidth characteristics, the cable supports dense multimode deployments and helps maintain low insertion loss across typical multimode links.

Advantages

This OM4 pigtail provides consistent multimode transmission properties and is optimized for high-speed short-reach applications. The LC connector design delivers compact size and reliable mating cycles, while the 1 meter length simplifies routing inside racks and enclosures. Using OM4-grade fiber ensures higher modal bandwidth and improved performance compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, contributing to reduced signal loss and stable link behavior when properly installed.

Key specifications

How to use

Prepare the permanent link or rack panel for termination, then perform a clean splice between the pigtail fiber and the trunk fiber or secure the pigtail in the designated patch panel slot. Ensure fiber ends are properly cleaned and inspected before connecting. After splicing, protect the joint according to standard practice and route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and strain. Install the LC connector into the patch panel adapter or device port, then perform insertion loss and return loss measurements to verify the link.

Recommendations

Handle fiber with appropriate ESD precautions and use dedicated fiber cleaning tools. Avoid bending the fiber below its specified minimum bend radius, keep connectors dust-free with protective caps when not in use, and follow industry splice and testing procedures to ensure reliable multimode performance.
