Fiber optic pigtail Extralink LC/UPC, multimode OM4 50/125 µm, 2 m, Easy strip

Extralink LC/UPC fiber optic pigtail in multimode OM4 (50/125 µm) with a 2 m easy-strip jacketed fiber is designed for permanent termination and patching in data centers, LANs and telecom racks. The LC/UPC connector provides a precise ferrule interface and low back reflection, while the OM4 multimode grade supports high-bandwidth short-range links such as Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The 2 m length enables flexible routing within cabinets and patch panels, and the Easy strip jacket simplifies preparation and termination work.

Advantages

The pigtail combines standardized LC/UPC connectivity with OM4 performance to deliver reliable multimode links for short-reach applications. The Easy strip outer jacket reduces the time needed for jacket removal during field termination. Compact LC form factor saves space in dense patch panels, and the polished UPC endface reduces back reflection for improved link stability. Fiber construction and OM4 grading ensure compatibility with multimode transceivers and support higher modal bandwidth than lower-grade multimode fibers.

Suitable for

• Data center fiber patching and permanent terminations
• Local area network (LAN) backbone and horizontal cabling
• Telecommunications racks and equipment interconnect
• Short-range high-speed links such as 1G and 10G Ethernet
• Fiber patch panels, splice enclosures and distribution frames

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4 (50/125 µm)
• Connector type: LC/UPC on pigtail end
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket: Easy strip outer jacket for simplified preparation
• Application range: Short-range high-bandwidth multimode links (e.g., Gigabit, 10 Gigabit)
• Form factor: Duplex-ready LC footprint (single connector per pigtail)

How to use

Prepare the fiber optic routing path and secure the cable within the rack or tray. Strip the Easy strip jacket as required to expose the buffered fiber and perform splicing or fusion with the destination fiber in a splice enclosure or patch panel. After splicing, organize and secure the pigtail within the splice tray or panel and route the connector to the appropriate LC adapter or patch port. Verify endface cleanliness prior to insertion and perform optical loss testing and inspection to confirm acceptable attenuation and return loss.

Recommendations

Handle the OM4 fiber with care to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Clean LC/UPC connector endfaces with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating. Use recommended splice protectors and follow standard procedures for fusion splicing and cable management to maintain link performance and mechanical reliability.
