Encased in a 0.9mm LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) ribbon jacket, this pigtail offers superior space efficiency compared to traditional loose-tube designs, reducing cable management complexity in high-density patch panels by up to 40% . The angled physical contact (APC) polishing on each LC connector ensures return loss ≥60dB, making it ideal for analog and high-speed digital applications where signal integrity is paramount. Each fiber strand maintains strict color coding per ANSI/TIA-598-C standards, while the ribbon structure enables simultaneous fusion splicing for rapid deployment in large-scale installations .
Compliant with Telcordia GR-326 and ITU-T G.657 recommendations, this pigtail supports reliable operation across the 1260nm to 1650nm wavelength range, seamlessly integrating with existing and emerging optical network architectures including 40G/100G data links and NG-PON2 systems.
Return Loss ≥60dB at 1310nm/1550nm wavelengths due to APC 8° angled polishing, minimizing signal degradation in high-speed systems .
Insertion Loss ≤0.3dB per fiber, ensuring efficient signal transmission across all 12 channels .
Low Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) ≤0.1dB, critical for coherent optical transmission systems .
12-Core Ribbon Configuration reducing cable diameter by 30% compared to equivalent loose-tube assemblies .
0.9mm LSZH Jacket providing fire safety compliance (UL 94 V-0) and environmental protection in enclosed spaces .
Precision LC Connectors with zirconia ceramic ferrules (φ2.5mm) ensuring >500 mating cycles with minimal loss variation .
Bend-Insensitive Operation: Supports 5mm dynamic and 30mm static bend radii without performance degradation .
Wide Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C operational range for harsh environment deployment .
RoHS 2 and REACH Compliant Materials ensuring environmental safety and regulatory compliance .
Enables high-port-count patch panels in hyperscale data centers, supporting 400G and future 800G transceiver connections through its low-loss, high-density design. The ribbon structure simplifies cable management in backbone and aggregation layers.
Critical for amplifier chain connections and OADM (Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) interfaces where APC's low reflection (<-60dB) prevents amplifier instability and signal distortion.
Ideal for analog video signal transmission in HFC (Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial) networks, where the APC polish eliminates reflection-induced ghosting and signal degradation.
Facilitates high-density fiber connections between 5G base stations and aggregation points, supporting the low latency and high bandwidth requirements of 5G NR (New Radio) technology.
Provides precision reference connections in optical test equipment, ensuring accurate measurement of insertion loss and return loss in high-performance optical components.
APC (Angled Physical Contact) polishing features an 8° angled endface that achieves return loss ≥60dB, significantly reducing back reflections compared to UPC's ≥50dB. This makes APC essential for analog systems (CATV), high-speed digital links (>10Gbps), and optical amplifier chains where reflections can cause signal distortion or equipment damage .
The 12-core ribbon structure allows simultaneous fusion splicing of all fibers, reducing termination time by up to 70% compared to individual loose fibers. This mass termination capability is critical for large-scale data center and telecom deployments requiring rapid network deployment .
We use G.657 A2 single-mode fiber which offers superior bend insensitivity compared to legacy G.652D fiber. This allows tighter cable routing (5mm dynamic bend radius) in high-density patch panels without significant signal loss (>0.1dB), preventing performance issues in space-constrained installations .
No, APC and UPC connectors are not interchangeable. Mixing them causes severe insertion loss (>5dB) and potential connector damage due to physical misalignment. Always ensure connector polishing types match between mating components in your optical link .
Use lint-free wipes with 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean APC endfaces. Never use UPC cleaning tools as they can damage the angled surface. Inspect connectors with a ≥200x fiber scope before mating, and clean after every 50 mating cycles or whenever contamination is visible.
