The SM 2M SC APC Fiber Pigtail DC stands as a specialized connectivity solution engineered for demanding single-mode fiber optic networks requiring precise signal control and reliable performance. This direct-connect (DC) optimized pigtail features a 2-meter length and SC APC connectors terminated on single-mode fiber, designed to minimize signal degradation in critical transmission paths.

Our pigtails are crafted to solve the most common headache for field engineers: difficult stripping. We use a specialized buffering process that allows the outer layer to glide off with a clean "zip" sound when using standard tools, leaving the 125μm cladding perfectly intact. This reliability means your fusion splicing sessions become faster and more successful on the first try, reducing labor costs and truck rolls. Whether you are building out a massive ODF (Optical Distribution Frame) or a small local exchange, this pigtail provides the peace of mind that comes from knowing your termination points are the strongest link in your chain.
By choosing our SC APC Fiber Pigtail, you aren't just buying hardware; you are investing in an invisible layer of security for your data. The angled physical contact ensures that any light reflected back is directed into the cladding rather than the core, a feature that is essential for high-power video signals and gigabit data streams. It is the subtle difference between a network that "just works" and a network that excels under pressure.
The "APC" in our SC APC Fiber Pigtail stands for Angled Physical Contact. The 8-degree angle on the ferrule face is the secret to its success. Unlike standard blue connectors, our green SC/APC ends ensure that back-reflections are redirected out of the fiber core. This is vital for modern high-speed networks where return loss must be kept below -60dB to prevent damage to expensive laser transmitters.
At the heart of every connector is a zirconia ceramic ferrule. We source only the highest grade ceramics to ensure concentricity and tight tolerances. When the pigtail is mated, the alignment is so precise that insertion loss is virtually imperceptible. This results in a stable, consistent connection that does not fluctuate with temperature changes or physical vibrations within the rack.
Our pigtails utilize OS2 single-mode fiber, which is the industry standard for everything from local area networks to long-haul carrier routes. The 9/125μm geometry is optimized for the 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, ensuring your infrastructure is ready for future bandwidth upgrades without needing to replace the physical termination layer.
The outer jacket is available in LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), which is critical for indoor installations where fire safety codes are a priority. In the event of extreme heat, the jacket will not release toxic fumes, protecting both your equipment and your personnel. Additionally, the fiber core is protected against micro-bending, allowing for tidy routing in crowded fiber management trays.
Critical for connecting EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers) and RAMAN amplifiers in long-haul networks. The superior return loss prevents amplifier oscillation caused by reflected signals, ensuring stable operation .
Ideal for laboratory setups and field testing equipment, where precise optical measurements require minimal signal distortion. The DC-optimized design provides consistent performance for calibration and verification procedures.
Used in optical cross-connect systems and add-drop multiplexers, providing reliable connections between transmission equipment and optical backplanes. The 2-meter length offers flexible routing between rack-mounted components.
Perfect for studio-to-transmitter links (STL) and satellite earth station interfaces, where signal integrity is paramount for analog and digital video transmission. The APC polishing minimizes signal degradation in high-frequency modulation systems.
Suitable for ruggedized communication systems requiring reliable performance in extreme environments. The wide temperature range and mechanical robustness meet military specifications for harsh conditions.
"DC" stands for Direct Connect, indicating this pigtail is optimized for direct connections between active devices (like transceivers and amplifiers) and passive components. It features tighter manufacturing tolerances on fiber concentricity and connector alignment to ensure consistent performance in critical links.
While sharing basic SC APC characteristics, the DC-optimized version offers tighter performance tolerances (lower insertion loss, higher return loss), enhanced mechanical stability, and stricter quality control. These improvements make it suitable for applications where signal integrity is mission-critical.
While the pigtail itself can operate in outdoor temperature ranges, it features a non-armored PVC jacket designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, it should be installed within protected enclosures or conduit systems to prevent moisture ingress and physical damage.
Use lint-free wipes with isopropyl alcohol (99% purity) to clean ferrules. For best results, use a dedicated fiber optic cleaning tool designed for APC connectors to avoid damaging the angled ferrule surface. Always inspect connectors with a fiber scope before mating.
Yes, it is fully compatible with IEC 61754-4 compliant SC APC adapters, typically identified by their green color. Ensure adapters are clean and undamaged before use. Never use APC adapters with UPC connectors or vice versa .
