Hey there! As a supplier of SC Multimode Fiber Pigtail, I often get asked if these pigtails can be customized. Well, the short answer is yes! And in this blog, I’m gonna dive deep into the world of customizing SC Multimode Fiber Pigtails, sharing all you need to know.
What is an SC Multimode Fiber Pigtail?
Before we jump into customization, let’s quickly go over what an SC Multimode Fiber Pigtail is. It’s a short, single - fiber cable that has an SC connector on one end and a bare fiber on the other. Multimode fiber means it can carry multiple light rays (modes) at the same time, which is great for short - distance, high - bandwidth applications like local area networks (LANs) in offices, data centers, and campus networks.
Why Customize SC Multimode Fiber Pigtails?
There are a bunch of reasons why someone might want to customize these pigtails. First off, different applications have different requirements. For example, in a large data center, you might need pigtails of specific lengths to fit neatly into the cable management system. You don’t wanna have a bunch of extra cable coiled up everywhere, as it can cause signal interference and make the whole setup look messy.
Secondly, the environment matters. If the pigtails are going to be used in a harsh industrial environment, you might need them to be more rugged. This could mean having a special outer jacket that’s resistant to chemicals, abrasion, or extreme temperatures.
Another reason could be for compatibility. Sometimes, existing network equipment has specific connector requirements or fiber types. Customizing the pigtail can ensure seamless integration with the rest of the network.
Customization Options
1. Length
One of the most common customization options for SC Multimode Fiber Pigtails is the length. We can make them as short or as long as you need. Whether you need a 1 - meter pigtail for a tight space in a patch panel or a 50 - meter one to connect different parts of a large building, we’ve got you covered.
2. Connector Type
While it’s an SC pigtail, we can also offer different variations of the SC connector. For example, there are angled physical contact (APC) connectors and ultra - physical contact (UPC) connectors. APC connectors are great for applications where low back - reflection is crucial, like in some telecommunications systems. UPC connectors, on the other hand, are more commonly used in general LAN applications.
3. Fiber Type
Multimode fiber comes in different grades, such as OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, and OM5. Each grade has different bandwidth and distance capabilities. For instance, OM3 and OM4 are designed for high - speed Ethernet applications over longer distances compared to OM1 and OM2. So, depending on your network’s speed and distance requirements, we can customize the pigtail with the appropriate fiber type.
4. Jacket Material
As I mentioned earlier, the environment can have a big impact on the pigtail’s performance. We can offer different jacket materials to suit different environments. For indoor use, a PVC jacket is often sufficient. It’s flexible and easy to work with. But for outdoor or industrial use, we can use a more robust polyethylene (PE) jacket or even a metal - armored jacket for maximum protection.
Comparing with Other Types of Pigtails
It’s worth comparing SC Multimode Fiber Pigtails with some other popular types, like LC Singldemode Fiber Pigtail, LC Multimode Fiber Pigtail, and SC Singlemode Fiber Pigtail.
LC pigtails are smaller in size compared to SC pigtails. They’re often used in high - density applications where space is limited, like in modern data centers. Single - mode fiber pigtails are designed for long - distance, high - speed applications, as they can carry a single light ray over much longer distances without significant signal loss. In contrast, our SC Multimode Fiber Pigtails are ideal for short - distance, high - bandwidth local networks.
Quality Assurance in Customization
When we customize SC Multimode Fiber Pigtails, we don’t cut corners on quality. We use high - quality fibers and connectors to ensure reliable performance. Each pigtail goes through a series of tests, including optical loss testing and visual inspection. This way, we can guarantee that the customized pigtails meet your specifications and industry standards.
