Considerations for Choosing Splice-On Pigtail Solutions
► Best option for transitioning 250μm OSP to 900μm indoor cable
– Ideal for entrance facility for incoming fiber
► Ideal for singlemode fiber applications
– Multimode can be difficult to align due to graded index profile and larger
cores, especially when using different vendors’ glass
► Expensive for anyone who doesn’t own a splice machine
► More time consuming installation than plug and play – not ideal for ultra high density deployments unless using mass ribbon fusion splicing with MPO/MTPs
► One of only two field-termination options for MPO/MTPs required in multi-fiber applications
