There are multiple types of fiber optic pigtails, such as single fiber pigtails, multi fiber pigtails, single core pigtails, multi core pigtails, and so on. In addition to the common types of fiber optic pigtails mentioned above, there are also bundle fiber optic pigtails, ribbon fiber optic pigtails, armored fiber optic pigtails, and waterproof fiber optic pigtails. The first two are branching pigtails, while the last two are special fiber optic pigtails. In addition, we can also divide fiber pigtails into pigtails with skin, pigtails without skin, pigtails with branch, and customized pigtails based on the skin and branch.
Bundle shaped fiber optic tail fiber: This type of fiber optic tail fiber, also known as tail fiber bundle, is composed of Corning tightly sheathed fiber, aramid fiber reinforced components, and flame retardant PVC outer sheath. Compared to other types of tail fibers, it has higher heat and is widely used.
Ribbon fiber tail: Ribbon fiber tail is the same as bundle fiber tail, both belong to multi-core tail. Ribbon fiber tail contains 12 core fibers, one end is used for fusion, and the other end is equipped with a connector.
Armored fiber optic tail fiber: This type of fiber optic tail fiber has an extra layer of metal protection added to its outermost layer compared to ordinary tail fibers, so its durability will be higher.
Waterproof fiber optic tail fiber: low insertion loss, high return loss, good interchangeability and repeated push-pull performance, very convenient to use. The waterproof tail fiber has a sturdy sheath and a waterproof sealed head connector, which can be used in harsh environments.
