Kuitu-pigtail LANBERG SM LC/APC 9/125 G.657.A1 2 m keltainen

LANBERG Fibre optic pigtail SM LC/APC 9/125 G.657.A1, 2 m, yellow is a single-mode termination lead intended for fusion splicing and patch panel connections in telecom and data networks. The pigtail uses bend-insensitive G.657.A1 fibre with a 9/125 µm core/cladding geometry and an LC connector with APC polish to ensure low back reflection and stable single-mode performance. Its 2 m yellow jacket provides visibility and compliance with industry colour coding for single-mode links, making it suitable for structured cabling, repairs and final terminations.

Advantages

This LANBERG pigtail delivers low insertion loss and reduced return loss due to the LC/APC connector geometry and APC polish, supporting reliable optical transmission. The G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fibre minimizes attenuation caused by tight bends and routing in confined spaces. The factory-assembled pigtail simplifies installation by providing a ready-made connector for fusion splicing to the installed backbone fibre, reducing on-site termination time and ensuring consistent connector quality.

Suitable for

• Fusion splicing to single-mode backbone fibres in telecom and data networks
• Termination of patch panels and distribution boxes
• Repairs and replacements in FTTH, LAN and server-room cabling
• Environments with tight routing where bend-insensitive fibre is required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode, G.657.A1 bend-insensitive
• Core/cladding: 9/125 µm
• Connector: LC, APC polished
• Length: 2 metres
• Outer jacket colour: Yellow (single-mode standard)
• Typical use: Fusion splicing / patch panel termination

How to use

Prepare the installed backbone fibre by stripping and cleaning the buffer and cladding according to standard splicing procedures. Align and fusion-splice the prepared fibre to the pigtail’s bare fibre, then protect the splice with an appropriate splice protector or enclosure. Route the pigtail to the patch panel or adapter panel and insert the LC/APC connector into the corresponding APC adapter, ensuring correct keying and seating. Verify optical performance with an optical loss test set or power meter to confirm acceptable insertion and return loss.

Recommendations

Handle the LC/APC connector and the exposed fibre with care: avoid touching the ferrule face, keep connectors capped when not in use, and maintain minimum bend radii to preserve the fibre’s bend-insensitive performance. Use appropriate cleaning tools and test equipment after installation to ensure optimal optical link quality.
