Questions et réponses professionnelles

Q1: What applications is the FC/APC 12-core single-mode fiber pigtail most suitable for?
A : It is ideally used in FTTH deployments, central office terminations, and high-density patch panels where low insertion loss and high return loss are critical. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector is especially beneficial in analog video transmission and RF-over-fiber systems due to its reduced back reflection.

Q2: Why choose FC/APC over FC/UPC for single-mode applications?
A : FC/APC connectors feature an 8-degree angled endface, which reduces back reflection to >40 dB compared to >30 dB for UPC. This makes APC preferable for high-precision systems like GPON, CATV, and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) where reflectance can impact signal quality.

Q3: How is the long-term reliability of these pigtails ensured?
A : Through fully automated production, high-quality LSZH sheathing, and 100% pre-delivery testing—including insertion loss, return loss, and endurance checks—each unit guarantees consistent performance over ≥1000 mating cycles and under varying environmental conditions.

Q4: Are these pigtails compliant with current industry standards?
A : Yes, they comply with IEC 61754-13, Telcordia GR-326, and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, ensuring interoperability and performance consistency in modern optical networks.

Q5: What should be considered during installation to maintain performance?
A : Always keep APC connector endfaces clean using approved fiber optic cleaners, avoid bending beyond the minimum bend radius (typically 30 mm), and ensure proper strain relief during cable management to prevent tensile stress on the fibers.
