About:

This product is a 3-meter long, single-fiber optic patch cord pigtail that supports both OS1 and OS2 single-mode fiber standards. Single-mode fibers like OS1 and OS2 are ideal for long-distance and high-bandwidth data transmission.

Also Known As:

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

Common Applications:

• Long-distance network connections in telecommunications
• Building-to-building campus data links
• Data center cabling infrastructure, especially for backbone connections
• Enterprise networks for connecting servers with networking equipment
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, cloud computing services, and internet backbone links
• Infrastructure for broadband access networks, including Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) or Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP)

Standards:

• ITU-T G.652.D or G.657.A/B for standard single-mode and bend-insensitive single-mode fibers, respectively
• ANSI/TIA/EIA standards related to fiber optic cabling
• IEC standards for fiber connectors and cable quality
• ISO/IEC standards concerning structured cabling systems

Construction:

• A high-quality, factory-terminated connector on one end. The "3" in the part number may suggest a specific type of connector, like an SC APC or LC UPC, although this would need to be confirmed with the manufacturer's documentation.
• A single-mode optical fiber capable of transmitting data with low attenuation and high bandwidth over long distances.
• The 3-meter length provides some additional slack for ease of installation or to bridge longer distances within a rack or wiring closet.
• A protective outer jacket, typically yellow to indicate single-mode fiber, which encases the fiber for protection against physical damage.
• The other end of the pigtail is typically bare fiber, ready for splicing to another fiber or to be terminated as needed.

Features:

• Low insertion loss due to precision connector termination, which ensures minimal signal loss at connection points.
• High return loss, which is important for preventing signal reflection in high-speed and long-distance applications.
• OS1/OS2 rating, indicating suitability for both conventional single-mode and low water peak single-mode fiber applications.
• Enhanced durability for various installation environments, potentially including a rating for flame retardance or a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket.
• The additional length provides flexibility for installation in larger setups or where components are spaced out.
