About:

This is a 1-meter long fiber optic patch cord pigtail that comes with one single-mode fiber. The OS1/OS2 indicates its compatibility with single-mode optical fiber standards OS1 and OS2, which are designed for high-bandwidth and long-distance communications.

Also Known As:

• Single-mode fiber optic pigtail
• OS1/OS2 patch cord
• 1-meter single-fiber pigtail

Common Applications:

• High-speed network infrastructures such as those in data centers and corporate buildings.
• Telecommunications and CATV (Cable Television) networks.
• Wide Area Networks (WAN) and Local Area Networks (LAN).
• Fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) and Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments.
• Any single-mode fiber optic application requiring a pigtail for splicing.

Standards:

• ITU-T G.652 and G.657 for single-mode fibers, addressing performance in terms of attenuation and bend sensitivity.
• IEC standards for connector performance and fiber quality.
• TIA/EIA standards for structured cabling systems.
• Possibly compliant with ISO/IEC standards regarding optical cabling.

Construction:

• Single-fiber configuration within a 1-meter length, which is a common length for patching or splicing to other cables.
• A protective outer jacket that is typically yellow, denoting single-mode fiber.
• One end terminated with a precision optical connector (the "3" in the part number may indicate the type of connector, such as an SC APC, SC UPC, or another standard connector).
• The other end prepared for splicing, typically bare fiber without a connector.
• It may include a strain relief boot, and possibly aramid yarn or other strength members inside the jacket for durability.

Features:

• The OS1/OS2 designation indicates low water peak fiber, enabling a broader range of wavelengths and compatibility with various transmission standards.
• Single-mode fiber allows for high data rates and long transmission distances without significant signal degradation.
• Factory-terminated connector ensures high-quality connections with low insertion loss and high return loss, which is critical in single-mode fiber applications.
• Flame retardant jacket options such as OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) may be available to meet specific building codes and safety standards.
• The 1-meter length is typically used in patch panels or for direct equipment connection where minimal excess cable is desired.
