Pigtail SC/UPC 06 colors OM3 0.9mm OFNR 3M, semitight

**Pigtail SC/UPC 06 colors OM3 0.9mm OFNR 3M, semitight** from **Red Cable Technology (RCT)** is a 6-fiber pigtail set made to terminate fiber optic cable by **fusion or mechanical splicing**. Each leg is terminated with an **SC/UPC connector** on **laser-optimized 50/125 multimode OM3** fiber, with **0.9mm semitight (strippable) buffer** construction and an **OFNR-rated** jacket in a **3-meter** length. The 6-color coding keeps fibers easy to tell apart inside ODFs, fiber terminal boxes, and distribution boxes.

**Features & Specs:**

• 6 color-coded pigtail legs for fast fiber identification in high-density terminations
• SC/UPC connectors: snap-in design, simple, rugged, and low cost, with a straightforward push-on/pull-off operation that makes SC a popular choice
• UPC (blue) polish with no angle — not exactly flat, with a slight curvature for better core alignment (UPC connectors are blue; APC connectors are green)
• Laser-optimized 50/125 µm multi-mode OM3 fiber with a 50µm core like OM2, optimized for laser-based equipment that uses fewer modes of light
• Capable of 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 300 meters; refined manufacturing has extended overall capabilities so OM3 supports 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, and 10 GbE up to 400 meters on improved cable — 10 Gigabit Ethernet remains its most common use
• Laser-optimized multi-mode fiber (LOMMF) is designed for use with 850 nm VCSELs
• 0.9mm semitight (strippable tight buffer) legs, 3M length, OFNR jacket rating; OM3’s suggested jacket color is aqua
• Strippable tight buffer: a buffer where the gap is not visible under 100 power magnification, no interstitial material defined as loose powder or liquid is used, and at least 10 cm of material can be removed with one circular cut

## Built for Fusion or Mechanical Splicing

Fiber optic pigtails terminate fiber optic cables via fusion or mechanical splicing, and high-quality pigtail cable paired with correct fusion splicing practice gives the best performance a fiber termination can offer. You’ll typically find pigtails in fiber management equipment like ODFs, fiber terminal boxes, and distribution boxes.
