LANmark-OF Pigtails Tight Buffer

Pigtail family characteristics

• Fibre assembly to terminate cable with fusion splicing
• Available with ST, SC, LC and MTRJ connectors
• Suitable for use in patch panels using splice cassettes.
• The pigtails can be stripped in one action over a distance of 1-2 cm.
• Insertion loss: typical value is 0.1 dB, maximum value is 0.3 dB. 

Fibre types

• Nexans LANmark-OF pigtails are available in all standardised optical fibre classes, multimode and singlemode.
• The MM50 version is designed to be used in a OM3 or a OM3xt compliant system and is backwards compliant with OM2 and OM2xt systems. The outher sheath for this type of pigtail is aqua.
• The MM62.5 version is designed for use in OM1 or OM1xt compliant systems. These pigtails are orange.
• The singlemode version is OS2 compliant with G652d fibre inside. These pigtails are yellow.
• The multimode versions can be used in laser optimised systems using the LANmark-OF xt cables. 

Compatibility and installation practices

• Tight buffer pigtails are compatible with heat shrink splice cassettes (N890.090 and N890.095) with heat shrink protections (N890.021).
• Tight buffer pigtails are recommended to be used with tight buffer cables, i.e. with 900 um fibres. When using loose tube cables (250 um fibres) additional stress on the loose tube fibres should be limited as much as possible
• Around the splice area the pigtail needs to be stripped till the cladding before insertion in the splice tool.
• For proper alignment in the fusion splice tool the pigtail is fixed on the 900 um outer sheath. There is no need to strip the outer sheath of the pigtail on the place for fixation for getting a proper fixation.
