This 1-meter simplex single-mode pigtail suits small fiber enclosures where extra length only gets in the way. It pairs a factory-polished SC/UPC connector with a semi-tight 0.9 mm buffer that strips cleanly in long sections.
The bend-insensitive G.657.A1 fiber handles tight coils inside wall boxes and termination enclosures. It splices directly to G.652.D cable. The yellow buffer identifies it as single-mode, and the material meets the OFNR riser fire rating. It's a compact, tidy choice for FTTH boxes and small splice cases. Its short length keeps compact FTTH and premises boxes neat and easy to service.
Short Length, Less Clutter
In small wall-mount boxes and customer premises enclosures, a long pigtail leaves loops of fiber to manage. One meter is usually enough to go from the adapter to the splice holder with a modest service loop. Less slack means a neater box and lower bend risk.
Easy-Strip Semi-Tight Buffer
The semi-tight buffer has a tiny gap around the 250 µm coated fiber, with no gel or powder. It strips 10 cm or more in a single cut. Installers working in tight spaces appreciate needing fewer strip passes.
Compact Bend Performance
G.657.A1 glass meets ITU-T limits of 0.75 dB at 1550 nm for one turn at a 10 mm radius. That's important in small enclosures, where fiber often follows tight curves. Standard G.652.D fiber would lose much more light in the same space.
SC/UPC End
The SC connector uses a 2.5 mm ceramic ferrule and a square, keyed body that snaps into place. The blue housing marks a flat UPC polish. Use it only with UPC adapters, never green APC ports.
Mind the Bend Inside Small Boxes
Even bend-insensitive fiber benefits from gentle routing. Try to keep coils at a 15 mm radius or more, and use the box's guides instead of tight wraps. Avoid pinching the buffer under lids or tie wraps. These habits keep long-term loss stable as the box is opened over the years.

Where It Fits Best
This pigtail suits small wall-mount fiber boxes, building entrance terminals, and desktop fiber outlets. It also works in compact splice cases where every centimeter of slack needs a place to go.
