Square-shaped pigtail head

A pigtail type square head refers to a fiber optic pigtail with an SC (square connector) head, designed for precise alignment and low signal loss in optical networks.

Overview

A fiber optic pigtail is a short length of optical fiber with a connector on one end and bare fiber on the other, used to connect optical fibers to network equipment. The square head typically refers to the SC (Subscriber Connector) type, which has a square-shaped body that ensures high precision alignment and low insertion loss for reliable signal transmission .

Key Features

• Connector Type: SC (square)
• Material: High-quality ceramic ferrule for stability and durability
• Performance: Low insertion loss, high return loss, and excellent coaxial alignment
• Cable Type: Single-mode or multi-mode, often with PVC outer jacket for protection
• Length: Commonly 1.5 meters, but customizable
• Durability: Tensile strength ≥ 200N, resistant to scratches and defects

Applications

• Optical Fiber Local Area Networks (LANs)
• Telecommunication systems
• Cable television (CATV) networks
• Instrumentation and laboratory setups
• Plug-and-play compatibility with various optical network devices

Advantages

• Precise alignment due to square head design, reducing signal loss
• High reliability and repeatability in network connections
• Ease of installation with standard SC adapters
• Wide compatibility with SC ports in networking equipment

Summary

The pigtail type square head is ideal for applications requiring stable, low-loss fiber connections. Its SC connector design ensures accurate alignment, making it suitable for high-performance optical networks, including LANs, CATV, and telecommunication systems. When selecting a pigtail, consider fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode), length, and connector quality to match your network requirements .
