The 12 Fibers SC/APC Pigtail is a high-performance, color-coded fiber optic assembly designed for precise, low-loss termination in fiber optic networks. This pigtail features 12 SC/APC single-mode connectors, each factory-polished for optimal optical performance and pre-terminated on G657A fiber. It’s widely used in FTTH, CATV, LAN, WAN, and data center environments, offering quick, permanent connections between fiber patch panels and backbone or access cables.
As an essential component in modern MDU (Multi-Dwelling Unit) and enterprise fiber infrastructure, our 12 Fibers SC/APC Pigtail ensures superior signal quality, low insertion loss, and high return loss, even in high-density applications.
Key Features of the 12 Fibers SC/APC Pigtail
- Pre-terminated with 12 SC/APC connectors – angled physical contact polish ensures low reflectance
- Singlemode G657A or G652D fiber – compatible with bend-insensitive installations
- Color-coded fibers – simplifies identification and splicing
- LSZH, PVC, or OFNR jacket – fire-safe and flexible material options for all indoor scenarios
- Factory-tested for insertion loss (≤0.25dB) and return loss (≥50dB)
- Available in various lengths – 1m, 2m, 3m, and 5m standard lengths, with customization upon request
- Compatible with industry-standard patch panels and optical enclosures
- Ideal for use in high-density terminations and fiber distribution frames

Advantages of Choosing Our SC/APC Pigtails
Easy Installation
Pre-terminated and color-coded fibers simplify identification and splicing, reducing installation time and the chance of errors during deployment.
High Reliability
Factory-tested for insertion loss and return loss, ensuring every pigtail meets or exceeds industry standards.
Flame-Retardant Jackets
Choose from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), PVC, or OFNR to suit building code compliance for data centers, MDUs, or telecom closets.
Standards Compliance
All materials used conform to RoHS and REACH directives, ensuring environmentally responsible and safe deployment.
Why SC/APC?
The SC/APC connector is a standard in high-performance fiber optic applications, especially where reflectance needs to be minimized. The 8° angled polish reduces back reflection to less than -60 dB, making it ideal for applications like RF over fiber, FTTx, and video distribution systems, where signal integrity is paramount.
