Description
🛠 Material Science & Design Architecture
In 0.9mm pigtail applications, where cable weight and cable management space are the primary concerns, the All-Plastic design provides several strategic engineering benefits:
-
Space Efficiency: The elimination of bulky metal stops reduces the overall weight and footprint. This is critical for High-Density ODFs where thousands of terminations are managed in tight radii.
-
Environmental Inertness: The high-performance polymer housing is Immune to EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and chemical corrosion, ensuring stability in coastal or industrial environments.
-
Precision Injection Molding: The internal retention clips are molded to micron-level tolerances, locking the zirconia ferrule into a fixed axial position to prevent “pistoning” during temperature fluctuations.
-
8° Angled Physical Contact (APC): The green-coded housing indicates an 8-degree angled polish, which forces reflected light into the fiber cladding to achieve a return loss of ≥60dB.
-
Zirconia Ceramic Ferrule: Features a high-concentricity 125/126µm bore for Single-mode fiber, ensuring an average insertion loss of ≤0.20dB.
-
0.9mm Mini-Boot: A specialized short-profile boot provides effective strain relief for tight-buffer fibers without adding unnecessary length to the connector assembly.

💡 Field Assembly & Sourcing FAQ
Q: Why choose 0.9mm All-Plastic over the Metal Stop version?
A: The 0.9mm All-Plastic version is specifically optimized for internal routing within protected enclosures (like ODFs or splitter boxes). While metal-stop versions provide higher pull-strength for heavy 3.0mm jackets, the all-plastic pigtail version is more economical, lighter, and space-efficient for delicate 0.9mm buffered fibers.
Q: Is a crimping tool required for the 0.9mm version?
A: Typically, 0.9mm connectors are “crimp-free” or use a specialized plastic sleeve rather than a heavy metal hex-crimp. Since 0.9mm fiber does not have a thick outer jacket or Kevlar strength members to anchor, the assembly focuses on securing the tight buffer directly into the internal housing clips.
Q: Are these suitable for high-speed GPON/XGS-PON pigtails?
A: Absolutely. These are the industry standard for splicing onto the ends of incoming fiber drops. The APC interface is mandatory for PON networks to suppress back-reflection that can interfere with high-speed digital signals.
Q: Can I request custom boot colors or LSZH materials?
A: As a Manufacturer Direct source, we provide standard green boots for APC, but custom boot colors for color-coding (e.g., input vs. output fibers in a splitter) are available for Bulk Orders. All components are LSZH and RoHS compliant by default.
