The fibers need to have connectors fitted before they can attach to other equipment. Two common solutions for fiber cable termination are pigtails and fanout kits or breakout kits. This guide covers everything: what fiber optic pigtails are, how they differ from patch cords, which connector and polish type to specify, how to choose between mechanical and fusion splicing, and the real-world applications where pigtails are the right call.

Usually, the insertion loss of PC, UPC, and APC connectors is less than 0. However, UPC connectors have the lowest IL due to the smallest air gap while APC connectors have the highest RL due to the beveled fiber end-face. It is the difference between the input power and the output power of the link, expressed in decibels (dB). In telecommunications, insertion loss refers to the loss of signal power, calculated as a ratio in dB (decibel), resulting from inserting a device in a transmission line or optical fiber.

Insertion Loss is defined as the reduction in optical power between the input and output of a fiber optic link. It is expressed in decibels (dB) and calculated using the formula: IL = –10 log (Pout / Pin) Where: Lower insertion loss values indicate better optical performance. To be able to judge whether a fiber optic cable plant is good, one does a insertion loss test with a light source and power meter and compares that to an estimate of what is a reasonable loss for that cable plant.
