A fiber pigtail is typically a fiber optic cable with one end factory pre-terminated fiber connector and the other exposed fiber. It is usually suitable for field termination using a mechanical

A typical expanded-beam connector , schematically shown in Figure 6.12, consists of an optical element that collimates the beam radiating from the transmitting fiber and focuses the expanded

The end of the pigtail is stripped and fusion spliced to a single fiber of a multi-fiber trunk. Splicing of pigtails to each fiber in the trunk "breaks out" the multi-fiber cable into its component fibers for

Multimode fibers are relatively easy to terminate, so field termination is generally done by installing connectors directly on tight buffered fibers using the procedures outlined below.
