Pigtail OS2 1m ACT SC 9/125µm

The ACT SC 9/125µm OS2 pigtail is a 1 meter single-mode fiber optic cable designed for reliable connections in fiber networks. It uses OS2 single-mode fiber with a 9 µm core diameter and an SC connector to provide low-loss, stable performance for splicing or patch panel termination. Compact and flexible, this pigtail is intended for indoor installation where precise optical alignment and consistent signal quality are required.

Advantages

This pigtail offers single-mode OS2 fiber characteristics that support long-distance transmission and low attenuation. The 9/125µm fiber geometry ensures compatibility with standard single-mode equipment and minimizes insertion loss when properly terminated. The SC connector provides a push-pull mating design for secure and repeatable connections, and the 1 m length gives sufficient slack for routing in cabinets and patch panels without excessive excess cable.

Suitable for

• Splicing to backbone single-mode fiber runs in telecom and ISP networks
• Termination in indoor patch panels and distribution frames
• Laboratory testing, calibration, and prototype fiber setups
• FTTx closet terminations and cross-connects in commercial buildings

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: SC (single connector on pigtail end)
• Cable length: 1 m
• Application: Indoor splice/patch use
• Typical use: Low-loss single-mode transmission

How to use

Prepare the fiber by stripping the jacket and cleaning the bare fiber according to standard fiber handling procedures. Fusion-splice the pigtail to the installed single-mode fiber or terminate it in a splice tray within a patch panel. After splicing, protect the joint with appropriate heat-shrink tubing and secure the pigtail to prevent strain. When connecting to active equipment, insert the SC connector into the mating adapter until it clicks to ensure a proper physical connection.

Recommendations

Handle the fiber by the buffered section and avoid touching the ferrule endface. Use appropriate cleaning tools for the SC connector before mating and follow industry-standard loss-testing procedures after installation to verify insertion loss and reflectance meet network requirements.
