A fiber optic pigtail is a short optical fiber cable that has a connector on one end and an exposed (unterminated) fiber on the other. The connector end plugs into devices like transceivers or patch panels, while the bare end is typically fusion spliced to a fiber optic cable. The connector end is polished and tested under factory conditions, ensuring low insertion loss and high return loss. Compared with quick termination or epoxy and polish connections placed on the field.
