Product Overview
SC/MM Pigtail is part of the various pigtail range built by Ever Expresslink Limited in Ningbo, China. It is built on the SC (Subscriber Connector) interface.
SC pairs a 2.5 mm ferrule with a square push-pull housing that clicks into the adapter and releases by pulling the body straight back. SC bodies clip together into duplex pairs. Check polarity before you clip, because a reversed duplex clip is easy to build and hard to spot in a cabinet.
Multimode fiber carries many modes in a 50 or 62.5 µm core, which makes alignment and coupling far more forgiving over short distances. Use it inside buildings, data halls and campus backbones where reach is short and low-cost VCSEL transceivers do the work.
Key Benefits
- Supplied as SC/MM Pigtail, so the part you receive matches the designation you ordered against
- Multimode at 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm: Use it inside buildings, data halls and campus backbones where reach is short and low-cost VCSEL transceivers do the work.
- Tail lengths chosen for the enclosure so routing stays inside the bend radius
- Connector end face made and tested under factory conditions
- Field work reduced to a fusion splice, which the splicer measures for you
- Bundle versions load a twelve-fiber tray in one pass
Problems It Solves
- Mismatched polish between the pigtail and the distribution frame
- Field-terminated connectors whose loss varies with the weather and the technician
- Splice trays loaded one fiber at a time when a bundle would do it in a single operation
- Color coding that does not survive the transition from cable to tray
Application Scenarios
- ODF patch fields
- Building custom terminal boxes on an assembly bench
- Emergency restoration of a damaged distribution cable
- Terminating feeder cable inside a dome or horizontal splice closure
- Loading 12-fiber trays in a rack-mounted ODF
Who It Is For
- ODF and patch panel builders loading splice trays at scale
- Central office teams splicing onto backbone cable
- Maintenance crews carrying repair kits for emergency restoration
- Assembly houses building their own boxes and terminal units
Technical Features
- SC (Subscriber Connector) interface
- SC bodies clip together into duplex pairs. Check polarity before you clip, because a reversed duplex clip is easy to build and hard to spot in a cabinet.
- Multimode fiber at 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm
- Waterproof versions for outdoor and direct-entry enclosures
- Factory-polished ferrule with inspected end face
- 900 µm tight buffer or 250 µm bare fiber tail depending on the tray
- Color-coded buffer following standard fiber identification order
Materials
- Zirconia ceramic ferrule
- 900 µm tight-buffered fiber or bare fiber tail
- Aramid yarn reinforcement where the design carries load
- Thermoplastic boot and housing
- Furcation tubing on bundle versions

Values shown are those carried by the product designation. Dimensional and optical values for a specific order are confirmed on the quotation.
Manufacturing Process
- Fiber kitting and buffer color verification
- Connector assembly, epoxy cure and polish
- End-face inspection and loss measurement
- Tail cutting to the ordered length and buffer stripping preparation
- Bundling and furcation for multi-fiber versions
- Coiling, labeling and individual packing
Quality Control
- End-face geometry and cleanliness inspection on every connector
- Insertion loss and return loss measurement before packing
- Buffer color sequence verified against the order for bundles
- Tail length verified against the works order
- Waterproof versions pressure-checked on a sample basis
Customization Options
- Tail length matched to the enclosure you are loading
- Simplex, bundle, fan-out and waterproof formats
- UPC or APC polish
- Buffer color sequence to your own convention
- Ribbon-compatible versions for mass fusion splicing
Compared With Other Options
| LC | LC is half the footprint and doubles port density; SC is easier to handle in a crowded closure |
|---|---|
| FC | FC's threaded nut resists vibration; SC is faster to patch and re-patch |
| Single mode version | Single mode costs more at the transceiver but carries reach and upgrade headroom that multimode cannot. |
Handling SC/MM Pigtail
Before You Order
- Check buffer color against the tray plan before stripping anything
- Strip, clean and cleave to the splicer's stated dimensions
- Fusion splice and record the splicer's loss estimate
In Service
- Protect the splice with a heat-shrink sleeve and seat it in the tray
- Coil the tail inside the tray without dropping below the fiber's bend radius
- Cap the connector until the frame side is ready to be patched
Questions About SC/MM Pigtail
What do you need from us to quote SC/MM Pigtail?
The quantity, the destination and anything that has to match on your side: connector and polish at each end, fiber mode and core size, and length where the item is an assembly. If you are matching a part you already buy, send the sample and we will quote against it.
Can SC/MM Pigtail be supplied with a different connector interface?
Yes. SC (Subscriber Connector) is what this designation carries, and the same family is stocked across the other mainstream connector standards. Tell us the port you have to mate with and we will confirm the equivalent part.
Is SC/MM Pigtail available in the other fiber mode?
This item is multimode. Core size has to match end to end. Mixing 62.5/125 and 50/125 in one channel costs several dB at the junction. The corresponding version in the other fiber mode is available; confirm the installed plant at both ends before ordering.
What tail length should I order?
Long enough to route around the inside of your closure or tray without tight bends, and no longer. Tell us the enclosure you are loading and we will suggest a length that coils cleanly.
Do you supply bundle pigtails in standard color order?
Yes. Bundle and 12-fiber versions follow the standard fiber identification color sequence, and we can supply a different sequence if your plant uses its own convention.
