Description
The FTTA AARC 2F Single Mode Pigtail is a factory-terminated fiber optic cable assembly featuring an AARC connector on one end and unterminated fiber tails on the other, designed specifically for permanent fiber optic installations in wireless telecommunications infrastructure. This 15-meter pigtail provides the flexibility needed for splice-based connections in base stations, equipment shelters, and distribution points where field termination or fusion splicing to existing fiber networks is required.
Manufactured with precision in a controlled factory environment, this 2-fiber single mode pigtail delivers superior optical performance compared to field-terminated alternatives. The AARC connector undergoes rigorous testing and quality inspection before leaving the facility, ensuring optimal insertion loss and return loss characteristics. The black outdoor-rated jacket provides UV resistance and environmental protection, making this pigtail suitable for both indoor equipment rooms and outdoor installation environments where cables may be exposed to the elements during routing to splice points.

FAQ
Q: What are the advantages of using factory-terminated pigtails versus field-terminated connectors?
A: Factory-terminated AARC pigtails provide superior optical performance and reliability compared to field termination. The controlled factory environment ensures optimal connector polishing, precise alignment, and thorough testing that’s difficult to replicate in field conditions. Pigtails with splice-based connections also offer better long-term reliability, as fusion splices typically exhibit lower loss and better mechanical stability than field-installed connectors, especially in outdoor environments subject to temperature cycling and moisture.
Q: Can you provide custom lengths and fiber counts for large-scale network deployments?
A: Absolutely. FiberMania manufactures AARC pigtails in any length from 1 meter to 100+ meters and fiber counts from 2 to 144 fibers based on your network architecture. We can provide pre-measured lengths for specific tower heights or equipment room layouts, and offer volume pricing for large deployments. Our 1-piece MOQ makes it practical to order various lengths for different installation scenarios within the same project. Contact our engineering team for design consultation and quantity-based pricing.
Q: What splice methods are compatible with this pigtail, and do you provide splicing guidance?
A: This pigtail is compatible with both fusion splicing and mechanical splicing methods. The 900μm tight-buffered fibers work with all standard fusion splicers and mechanical splice assemblies. We recommend fusion splicing for lowest loss and best long-term reliability, typically achieving <0.1dB splice loss. Our technical team provides comprehensive splicing guidance, preparation instructions, and recommended splice parameters. We can also supply pre-assembled splice kits with all necessary components for field installations.
Q: How do you ensure quality and what testing documentation is provided?
A: Every AARC pigtail undergoes comprehensive factory testing including AARC connector insertion loss and return loss measurement, fiber continuity verification, and visual inspection. We provide detailed test reports with actual measured values for the AARC connector, fiber identification documentation, and compliance certifications. The unterminated fiber end is factory-cleaved and protected to ensure cleanliness. Our ISO-certified manufacturing maintains strict quality control throughout production, and we offer free samples for field validation before volume orders.
