1: What is OM2 multimode fiber pigtail?

OM2 multimode fiber pigtail is a fiber optic assembly with fiber optic connector (e.g. SC, LC, ST, etc.) at one end and bare fiber (need to be fused or terminated) at the other end, which adopts OM2 standard multimode fiber (62.5/125μm) and is mainly used for terminal connection and cabling extension of optical communication system.

2: What is the main use of OM2 multimode pigtail?

• Used for connection between optical fiber distribution frame (ODF) and equipment.

• To realize optical cable terminal fusion splicing in fiber to the home (FTTH) and local area network (LAN).

• Fiber termination for short distance optical links such as security monitoring and data center.

3: What is the transmission performance of OM2 pigtail fiber?

Fiber Type: OM2 (62.5/125μm).

Bandwidth: 500MHz-km at 850nm wavelength.

Typical Transmission Distance: (The actual distance should be calculated by combining the performance of optical module and link loss)

   1Gbps rate: up to 550 meters

10Gbps rate: up to 82 meters

4: What is the difference between OM2 pigtail and other fiber optic pigtails (such as OM1/OM3)?

5: How to choose the right OM2 multimode pigtail?

The following factors need to be considered:

Connector type: Select SC, LC or ST according to the device interface.

Fiber length: The length of pigtail is usually 1-3 meters, need to reserve space for fusion splicing operation.

Sheath material: PVC is optional for indoor, low smoke and non-halogen (LSZH) for fire prevention scenarios.

Simplex/Duplex: Single pigtail (simplex) or dual-core pigtail (duplex).

6: What do I need to pay attention to when using OM2 pigtails?

Fusion protection: The bare end needs to be fused and then protected with a set of heat shrink tubing to avoid fiber breakage.

Clean end face: The connector end face must be kept clean, otherwise it will lead to signal attenuation.

Bending radius: the installation of the bending radius ≥ 10 times the diameter of the cable to prevent fiber damage.

Avoid Pollution: The bare fiber not fused needs to be covered with a protective cap to avoid dust pollution.

7: Is it difficult to splice OM2 pigtail?

OM2 pigtail fusion splicing technology is mature, but need to pay attention:

   Professional fusion splicers (e.g. Sumitomo, Fujikura) and cutting knives should be used.

   Fusion loss should be controlled within 0.3dB to ensure performance.

   It is recommended to be operated by professional personnel to avoid fusion splicing failure.
