FTTH fibre optic pigtail cable Extralink EX.19126 — 1.5 m, G.652D, SC to pigtail, full duplex

Extralink EX.19126 is an FTTH fibre optic pigtail cable designed for single-mode installations. The cable is 1.5 m long and uses G.652D single-mode fibre with a 250 µm buffered fibre construction. One end is terminated with an SC connector and the other end is a bare pigtail prepared for fusion splicing, arranged for full duplex operation. The cable is intended for indoor and controlled outdoor backbone routing where reliable single-mode transmission and compact termination are required.

Advantages

The pigtail provides low insertion loss and consistent single-mode performance thanks to G.652D fibre characteristics. Its SC connector offers a standard, easy-to-install interface for patch panels and optical equipment. The 1.5 m length balances flexibility during splicing and panel routing while limiting excess fibre slack. The 250 µm buffered fibre simplifies handling and preparation for fusion splicing, reducing the need for additional buffering or sleeving in many installation scenarios.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop and backbone splicing and termination
• Patch panel and distribution frame connections in residential and multi-dwelling units
• Indoor backbone runs and controlled outdoor conduits
• Laboratory testing and short field jumper applications

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode G.652D
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector: SC on one end, pigtail termination on the other
• Configuration: full duplex
• Fibre coating/buffer: 250 µm

How to use

Prepare the pigtail by stripping the 250 µm buffer according to fusion splicer manufacturer guidelines, clean the fibre with appropriate solvents, and cleave to the specified length for the fusion process. Align and fuse the pigtail to the installed optical fibre, then protect the splice with heat-shrink tubing or splice tray as required by the installation. Route the SC-terminated end to the patch panel or active equipment and secure it in an available SC adapter slot, observing bend-radius constraints and strain relief practices throughout the installation.

Recommendations

Handle the 250 µm fibre carefully to avoid microbends; maintain recommended minimum bend radius and use appropriate splice protection. Use an inspection microscope to verify fibre end-face quality for the SC connector before final connection. Store and route the pigtail within protective ducts or trays for long-term deployments.
