SC-UPC Fiber Optic Pigtails

SC-UPC Fiber Optic Pigtails – High-Precision, Low-Loss Solutions for Reliable Splicing

Upgrade your fiber optic installations with high-performance SC-UPC pigtails, engineered for fast, reliable, and low-loss fusion splicing. These singlemode pigtails feature a factory-polished SC/UPC connector on one end and a bare fiber on the other, ready for fusion splicing into any fiber optic network. Built for professionals who demand precision and durability, SC-UPC pigtails are ideal for telecom operators, FTTH installers, data centers, and enterprise networks.

With low insertion loss, excellent return loss, and tight manufacturing tolerances, these pigtails ensure stable, high-speed optical transmission across a wide range of applications. Whether you’re terminating a fiber in an ODF, building out a PON system, or making repairs in the field, our SC-UPC pigtails deliver performance you can rely on.

Precision-Engineered for High-Performance Splicing

Our SC-UPC fiber optic pigtails are manufactured using premium-grade OS2 singlemode fiber (G.657A1 or G.652D), designed for long-distance, high-bandwidth signal transmission. The SC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connector features a flat-polished end-face, providing superior insertion loss and minimal return reflection—ideal for high-speed data, voice, and video networks.

Key Optical Performance:

• Insertion Loss: ≤ 0.3 dB (typical)

• Return Loss: ≥ 50 dB (UPC polish)

• Connector Type: SC/UPC (pre-terminated)

• Fiber Type: Singlemode 9/125μm (G.657A1 or G.652D)

• Length: Standard 1 meter (custom lengths available)

The factory-terminated SC-UPC connector guarantees a precise core alignment, ensuring consistent performance with minimal signal loss during splicing and operation.

Designed for Fast Fusion Splicing and Easy Handling

Each pigtail comes with a pre-stripped and cleaved fiber tail, making it ideal for fusion splicing, where low-loss connection is essential. Whether you’re working in the field or at the rack, the buffered fiber allows for easy stripping, preparation, and splicing into existing cables, pigtail cassettes, or fiber trays.

Installation Benefits:

• Pre-cleaved, ready-to-splice design

• Color-coded or yellow jacket for easy identification

• Standard 900μm tight-buffer for fusion splicers

• Compatible with all major fiber management systems

By using pigtails for terminations, you eliminate the need for on-site connector polishing—saving time, reducing errors, and improving long-term reliability.

LSZH Jacket for Safe Indoor Use

Safety and durability are essential in professional fiber installations. Our SC-UPC pigtails are jacketed with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which is flame-retardant and emits minimal smoke and toxic gases in case of fire. This makes them perfect for indoor use in:

• Data centers

• Telecom rooms

• Commercial buildings

• Schools and hospitals

• Government facilities

The 900μm tight buffer is easy to handle and provides adequate mechanical protection while still being flexible enough for high-density routing.

100% Factory Tested for Quality and Performance

Every SC-UPC pigtail is factory-terminated, inspected, and optically tested to ensure the highest performance. The connectors are polished with industry-standard geometry and pass interferometry testing for end-face accuracy. In addition, each unit is tested for insertion loss and return loss before being packaged.

Quality Assurance Includes:

• IL/RL testing with calibrated equipment

• End-face inspection under magnification

• Interferometry testing for core alignment

• Individual packaging with dust caps

You can trust that each pigtail meets industry standards (IEC, TIA/EIA, RoHS) and delivers exceptional long-term performance in any professional environment.

Versatile Use Across All Fiber Optic Applications

These SC-UPC pigtails are ideal for a wide variety of fiber optic deployments, including:

• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network builds

• ODF (Optical Distribution Frame) terminations

• Splice tray installations

• Data center patch panels

• Telecom backbone repairs

• SC-terminated patch cord fabrication

They are also a smart choice for training environments and test labs, where clean, repeatable terminations are critical.

Whether you’re working with GPON, EPON, or active Ethernet systems, these pigtails make splicing and terminating a breeze—providing a fast, cost-effective, and professional solution for any fiber optic technician.
