This six-fiber OM4 pigtail set combines high-bandwidth multimode glass with a semi-tight 0.9 mm buffer that strips long lengths in a single cut. It's an efficient way to terminate 6-strand cables in wall-mount boxes, small splice enclosures, and 6-port SC adapter plates.
Each 3-meter fiber ends in a factory-polished SC/UPC connector. Strands run blue through white in standard TIA-598 order. The OM4 glass handles 10G, 25G, and 100G short-reach links, and the buffer meets the OFNR riser fire rating. Contractors who splice many small cables often reach for this version first.
Faster Prep With Semi-Tight Buffer
A semi-tight buffer sits around the coated fiber with a gap too small to see at 100x. No gel or powder fills it. Installers can remove 10 cm or more of buffer in one circular cut. That makes fusion splicing quicker and reduces the risk of nicking the fiber during repeated short strips.
Six Colors for Small Counts
The six strands follow TIA-598: blue, orange, green, brown, slate, and white. They line up directly with the fibers in a standard 6-strand cable. Small enclosures stay neat, with no spare pigtails taking up room.
OM4 Capabilities
OM4 delivers 4,700 MHz·km of effective modal bandwidth at 850 nm. IEEE 802.3 supports 10GBASE-SR over it up to 400 meters and 25GBASE-SR up to 100 meters. Attenuation is capped at 3.5 dB/km at 850 nm under TIA-568.
SC/UPC Termination
The SC connector carries a 2.5 mm ceramic ferrule in a square push-pull body. The UPC polish produces a slightly domed end face for solid physical contact. These connectors suit standard SC adapter panels and wall plates.
Tools for Semi-Tight Prep
You'll need a stripper sized for 900 µm buffer, a second notch for the 250 µm coating, lint-free wipes, and 99% isopropyl alcohol. A precision cleaver finishes the job. With semi-tight buffer, one pass removes the buffer, so the coating strip and clean become the only fiddly steps.
• Connector: SC/UPC, 2.5 mm ceramic ferrule

Ideal Applications
This set suits short building backbones, small server rooms, and fiber-to-the-desk zones. Contractors who splice many small cables often prefer semi-tight pigtails because the prep goes faster with fewer tools. The six-strand count also lines up neatly with compact 6-port SC adapter plates.
