📌 Common Professional Q&A

Q1: What’s the difference between LC and ST connectors?
A: LC connectors are smaller with latch locking for high-density panels, while ST connectors use a bayonet twist lock ideal for legacy or industrial cabling.

Q2: Why choose OM3 multimode over OM1/OM2 for pigtails?
A: OM3 is optimized for laser-based transmission, supporting higher speeds and longer distances (e.g., 10 Gbps+), with better bandwidth.

Q3: What does UPC mean?
A: UPC stands for Ultra Physics-Contact polish — it reduces back-reflection and improves return loss for more stable optical performance.

Q4: Can these pigtails be used outdoors?
A: These specific versions are typically for indoor or protected outdoor enclosures (LSZH jackets). For outdoor use, armored or outdoor-rated cable variants are recommended.
