Home / What is a fusion splicing unit pigtail

Fusion splicing is the backbone of modern fiber optic installations—and it's the primary method used when working with fiber optic pigtails. Executive Summary: A fiber optic pigtail is one of the most commonly specified yet least understood components in structured cabling. Traditional Fusion Splice-On Connectors with pigtails provide factory-polished performance with field-termination convenience within harsh environments. This configuration allows the connector side to easily connect to equipment while the other end can be fused or mechanically spliced with other optical fiber.
