A fiber pigtail is a single, short, usually tight-buffered fiber optic cable with a factory-installed connector on one end, and un-terminated fiber on the other end, making the maintenance more conveniently.

• Fiber optic pigtails are used to terminated fiber optic cables via fusion splicing or mechanical splicing as shown in the picture below.
• The end of the pigtail is stripped and fusion spliced to a single fiber or a multi-fiber trunk. Splicing of pigtails to each fiber in the trunk "breaks out" the multi-fiber cable into its component fibers for connection to the end equipment.
• High quality fiber pigtails combined with correct fusion splicing practices offer the best performance for fiber optic cable termination.
• 99% of single mode applications use pigtails, but pigtails are also used in many multimode applications.
