Description
Core Advantages of LC/APC 12-Core SM Fiber Pigtail
1. Unmatched Repeatability & Environmental Stability
Crafted from new high-temperature resistant, environmentally friendly materials, our 12-core fiber pigtail is engineered to resist deformation, breakage, and detachment even in harsh outdoor or high-temperature environments. The fully automatic standardized production process minimizes manual intervention, ensuring consistent quality across every unit and reliable performance for long-term network deployments.
2. Low Insertion Loss & Industry-Leading Return Loss
Featuring a high-quality ferrule with an 8° angled polish, the LC/APC connector eliminates signal reflection by directing stray light away from the fiber core, delivering a return loss of ≥40dB—far exceeding UPC connector performance. This design also ensures tight concentricity and precise dimensional accuracy, keeping insertion loss ≤0.3dB and maintaining signal integrity for analog CATV signals and bidirectional PON traffic.
3. High-Performance Single Mode Fiber Core
At its core, this pigtail uses an imported high-quality single mode fiber that undergoes 100% rigorous testing before delivery. Recognized by network engineers worldwide, this fiber core delivers low attenuation and stable transmission, making it the ideal choice for PON, CATV, and FTTH applications where signal fidelity is non-negotiable.

Ideal Applications
The LC/APC 12-Core Single Mode Fiber Pigtail is optimized for high-demand, reflection-sensitive scenarios:
- Passive Optical Networks (PON): Supports GPON/EPON deployments by minimizing signal reflection in bidirectional transmission.
- Cable TV (CATV) Systems: Ensures clear analog signal transmission with minimal interference for video and high-speed data services.
- Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH): Delivers reliable last-mile connectivity for residential and business users requiring stable, high-bandwidth access.
- Metro & Long-Haul Networks: Backs telecommunication infrastructure for service providers deploying high-frequency, low-reflection links.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What makes LC/APC connectors better than LC/UPC for CATV and PON networks?
A: LC/APC connectors feature an 8° angled polish that directs reflected light away from the fiber core, achieving a return loss of ≥40dB—critical for minimizing signal interference in analog CATV and bidirectional PON systems. In contrast, LC/UPC connectors (return loss ≥30dB) are better suited for digital data networks where reflection sensitivity is lower.
Q2: How does the 12-core design simplify PON deployments?
A: The 12-core design consolidates 12 fiber strands into a single compact pigtail, reducing cable clutter and enabling multi-fiber connections in a single installation step. This lowers labor costs and deployment time, making it ideal for high-density PON distribution points.
Q3: What industry standards do your LC/APC pigtails comply with?
A: Every unit adheres to IEC 61753-1 (for performance) and Telcordia GR-326 (for reliability) standards, ensuring compliance with global telecom and data center requirements. We also follow RoHS directives for environmental safety.
Q4: Why is LSZH material critical for fiber pigtails in enclosed spaces?
A: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to fire, enhancing safety in enclosed environments like data centers and apartment buildings. This makes our pigtails compliant with strict fire safety regulations in the EU, North America, and Asia.
