Can fiber optic cables be connected to pigtails using cold connectors

After the two pigtails are used, the cold connectors are used to realize the docking of the two. By combining factory-installed connectors with spliced bare fiber, pigtails ensure that network installers can create fast, reliable, and cost-effective terminations. Without pigtails, every termination in an ODF, terminal box, or splice closure would require field-installed connectors—an approach.
