Fiber optic pigtail is a short, uaually tight-buffered fiber optic cable with factory pre-installed connector on one end, and another end left empty. It usually used in fiber optic management like ODF, fiber terminal box and distribution box.
The quality of fiber optic pigtails are typically high because the connectorized end is attached in the factory, which make it more accurately than a field-terminated cables. With the pigtails, installer can splice the pigtail right on the cable in one minute or less, which will save the installation time and cost during FTTx deployment.
The difference of fiber patch cord and pigtail are very simple, one fiber patch cord can be cut into two pieces to make two pgitail. Fiber optic pigtails are available in various types: connector type(LC, SC, ST etc), fiber type (Single-mode and multimode type). Like fiber optic patch cords, fiber optic pigtails can be divided into UPC and APC versions. Most commonly used types are SC/APC pigtail, FC/APC pigtail and MU/UPC pigtail.
