LC Fiber Pigtail

LC in optical fiber represents a small connector type tail fiber, which is made using a modular jack (RJ) latch mechanism for easy operation. The size of the pins and sleeves used is half of the size used for ordinary SC, FC, etc., which is 1.25mm. Widely used in comprehensive wiring system engineering.

Introduction :

 

Fiber Pigtail has only one end with a connector, while the other end is a broken end of a fiber optic cable core, which is connected to other fiber optic cable cores through fusion splicing. It often appears in fiber optic terminal boxes and is used to connect fiber optic cables and fiber optic transceivers (couplers, jumpers, etc. are also used between them).

 

Characteristic of LC Fiber Pigtail
Miniaturization: LC connectors adopt a small-sized design, reducing the volume by 50% compared to traditional SC connectors, making them suitable for high-density cabling environments such as data centers, telecommunications rooms, etc.
High precision alignment: LC connectors use precision alignment technology to ensure efficient transmission of optical signals, reduce signal attenuation and return loss.
Low insertion loss: LC single-mode tail fiber has the characteristic of low insertion loss, ensuring signal quality and stability for long-distance transmission.
Hot swappable capability: Supports hot swappable functionality, allowing for the replacement of tail fibers without shutting down the system, improving network availability and maintenance efficiency.
Compatibility: LC connectors are compatible with various fiber optic devices, such as optical modules, fiber patch panels, fiber jumpers, etc., and are suitable for a variety of fiber optic network environments.

 

LC Fiber Pigtail have various uses in fiber optic networks, including but not limited to:

The connection between servers and storage devices.
Connect switches and routers within the data center.
In Fiber to the Home (FTTH) systems, the service provider's network is extended to the user's home.
The purpose of testing and measurement is to be used during the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of fiber optic networks.

FAQ

 

Q:What about SC, FC, ST, LC Fiber Pigtail application?

FC: Circular threaded, commonly used for fiber optic distribution frames.

ST: Circular bayonet, commonly used for fiber optic distribution frames.

SC: Snap on square (large mouth), commonly used for fiber optic transceivers and GBIC optical modules.

LC: Small square port, half the size of SC, commonly used for connecting SFP optical modules and pre terminated module boxes.

 

Q:  Is the fiber tail fiber divided into single-mode and multi-mode?

Single mode fiber usually uses yellow tail fiber, which is slightly thicker than multimode fiber
Multimode fibers are typically made with orange red tail fibers that are slightly thinner than single-mode fibers

 

Q:  What about mainly application on LC Fiber Pigtail?

LC Fiber Optic Pigtail is a type of fiber optic jumper that uses LC interface type and only contains one single-mode fiber core. This type of tail fiber is commonly used in fiber optic communication systems to connect different fiber optic devices such as fiber optic switches, routers, and servers.
