Pigtail SC/APC yksimuotokaapeli Extralink G.657.A1 900 µm FTTH 1,5 m, Easy Strip, valkoinen

Pigtail SC/APC Single-mode Extralink G.657.A1 900µm FTTH 1.5m, Easy strip, white is a single-mode fiber pigtail with an SC/APC connector designed for FTTH and FTTx network terminations. The pigtail uses bend-insensitive G.657.A1 fiber in a 900 µm FTTH jacket and measures 1.5 metres in length. It is intended for splicing and patching inside optical distribution frames, fiber terminals and compact distribution boxes where low loss and flexible routing are required. The Easy strip feature simplifies buffer removal and speeds up preparation for fusion splicing or connectorization.

Advantages

The G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber minimises signal loss when routed through tight bends and small enclosures, ensuring stable performance in constrained FTTH environments. The 900 µm FTTH jacket provides a slim, flexible profile suitable for splice trays and customer premises installations. The SC/APC connector offers low back-reflection for single-mode links. Easy strip construction reduces preparation time and lowers the risk of fiber damage during handling, improving installation efficiency and repeatability.

Suitable for

• Splicing and patching in optical distribution frames and splice trays
• Termination in fiber distribution boxes and customer premises sockets
• FTTH and FTTx deployments with limited space or tight bend radii
• Connecting single-mode equipment requiring SC/APC interfaces

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode, ITU-T G.657.A1 (bend-insensitive)
• Connector: SC/APC
• Jacket diameter: 900 µm FTTH coating
• Length: 1.5 m
• Color: white
• Preparation feature: Easy strip buffer for simplified stripping

How to use

Prepare the pigtail by removing the outer packaging and using the Easy strip feature to expose the fiber buffer according to standard fusion-splice or connector-preparation procedures. Route the 900 µm pigtail through the distribution box or splice tray, avoiding sharp kinks and maintaining recommended bend radii for G.657.A1 fiber. Perform fusion splicing or mechanical splicing to the incoming fiber, then secure the splice in the splice tray and route the SC/APC connector to the patch panel or customer socket. Verify optical loss and return loss after installation using appropriate test equipment.

Recommendations

Store and handle the pigtail in a clean environment and avoid contaminating connector endfaces; clean connectors before mating. Maintain minimum bend radius recommendations for G.657.A1 fiber during routing and while in service. Use proper splice protection sleeves and secure cable strain relief in closures and distribution panels to ensure long-term reliability.
