Product details

Simplex SC/APC 9/125 Single-Mode Fiber Optic Pigtail Price in Kenya

The Simplex SC/APC 9/125 Single-Mode Fiber Optic Pigtail creates a connectorized termination for an installed optical fiber. It has an SC/APC connector at one end and an unterminated fiber at the other, allowing a technician to splice it to a compatible cable.

This arrangement is useful inside distribution boxes, splice enclosures, and optical distribution frames. It presents an accessible connection point while keeping the permanent splice protected inside the enclosure.

Its simplex construction contains one optical fiber. The 9/125 designation identifies the nominal single-mode core and cladding dimensions.

Features and Benefits

Factory-prepared connector

The connectorized end removes the need to assemble and polish an SC connector in the field. The installer instead prepares the open fiber end for the required splice.

Organized termination points

A pigtail can present the incoming fiber through a matching adapter, making patching and maintenance easier without disturbing the permanent cable.

Suitable for APC-specified installations

Use this pigtail where the network calls for SC/APC. A matching SC/APC optical distribution frame may form part of the termination arrangement.

Recommended Applications

• FTTH distribution and subscriber termination boxes.
• Optical distribution frames.
• Single-mode cable termination projects.
• Replacement of damaged pigtails.
• Compatible APC-based optical networks.

How to Install the Pigtail

1. Check the design. Confirm SC/APC is required and that the pigtail’s fiber grade is suitable for the incoming cable.
2. Prepare the enclosure. Secure the main cable so pulling forces do not reach the splice.
3. Identify the fiber. Check labeling and isolate active optical signals before working.
4. Fit a splice protector. Place the correct protection sleeve onto a fiber before joining.
5. Prepare both ends. Strip, clean, and cleave using the lengths required by the splicer and holders.
6. Complete the splice. Select the appropriate program, review warnings, and remake any unacceptable joint.
7. Protect and organize. Heat the sleeve, allow it to cool, and place it in the tray. Route the remaining fiber without tight bends.
8. Connect and test. Inspect and clean the SC/APC connector, fit it to a matching adapter, then test and label the finished link.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages: Convenient factory connector; supports tidy enclosure layouts; provides a detachable patching point.

Disadvantages: Requires splicing tools and skills; the splice needs protection; it cannot directly replace a UPC pigtail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a pigtail the same as a patch cord?
No. A pigtail has one connectorized end; a patch cord has connectors at both ends.

Does simplex mean one-way communication?
No. It describes the number of fibers. Transmission direction depends on the connected equipment.

Can it be installed without an enclosure?
The splice and fiber require suitable protection and strain relief.
