2mm jackets are used for LC pigtails, while 3mm jackets are used for SC, ST, FC, SMA, and E2000 pigtails. Fiber Optic Pigtails are basically used to splice the fiber in the cable so that they can be connected to the patch panel or equipment. The connector end is polished and tested under factory conditions, ensuring low insertion loss and high return loss. It is usually suitable for field termination using a mechanical or fusion splicer. Compared with quick termination or epoxy and polish connections placed on the field. Fiber Pigtails from NetSource are factory-terminated for splicing, with multiple connectors, buffer types, and jacket options—100% tested for low loss. Characterized by having an optical fiber connector on one end and a bare fiber end on the other, they are primarily used to connect optical transceivers or other optical.
