UNDERSTANDING FIBER OPTIC PIGTAILS A QUICK GUIDE

The role of invisible fiber optic fusion splicing pigtails

The role of invisible fiber optic fusion splicing pigtails

The bare fiber end is designed to be fusion spliced or mechanically spliced to the fiber optic cable in the field. A fiber optic pigtail is a short length of optical fiber cable with a factory-terminated connector on one end and a bare, exposed fiber on the other. There are various possibilities: Mechanical splicing means that two fiber ends are tightly held together with some mechanical means.

How to peel off the coating on fiber optic pigtails

How to peel off the coating on fiber optic pigtails

FOS03 Fiber strippers remove the coating from the fiber optic cable to expose the glass fiber. In some applications, "window strip" operations are required, where a short section of coating is. Field-terminating connectors is a meticulous, high-pressure process where even a tiny mistake can force you to cut the fiber and start all over again. A qualified fiber end face is a necessary condition for welding, and the end surface quality affects the quality of the welding.
