Equip LC/PC Fiber Optic Pigtail Set OM3 Multimode 50/125µm, 1m, 12 Colours, LSZH Jacket, Pack of 12

The Equip 255632 is a set of twelve OM3 multimode (50/125 µm) fibre optic pigtails, each 1 m long with one LC/PC connector, made for fusion-splicing into fibre patch panels, splice boxes and distribution frames in data centres and enterprise networks.

Every pigtail in the set has a different jacket colour, so a 12-fibre cable can be terminated with a clear one-to-one colour match and traced later without a label chart. The low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket makes the set suitable for indoor installation in comms rooms, risers and office floors.

• 12 × LC/PC fibre optic pigtail, OM3 multimode 50/125 µm, 1 m each
• Each pigtail in a different colour (12-colour set)

• One end is a factory-terminated LC/PC connector with ceramic ferrule; the other end is bare fibre that is fusion-spliced to the installed cable inside a splice cassette.
• IEEE specifies OM3 for 10GBASE-SR links up to 300 m and 40G/100G SR4 links up to 100 m. A spliced pigtail adds only a small loss, so the link budget is set mainly by the cable run and the number of connector pairs.
• Twelve colours means one pigtail per fibre of a 12-fibre cable, which keeps the port order on the patch panel identical to the fibre order in the cable.
• A 1 m length gives enough fibre to route from the splice tray to the front adapters and keep a service loop for re-splicing.

• It is not a patch cord: there is only one connector. You need a fusion splicer (or a fibre contractor) to use it.
• Single-mode OS2 links (1310/1550 nm long-reach optics) — use OS2 single-mode pigtails instead.
• LC/APC adapters or connectors — PC and APC end faces must never be mated; the angle damages both connectors.
• Mixed-grade links — if part of the path is OM2 or OM1, the whole link performs to the lowest grade.
