What is a fiber optic pigtail used for?
A fiber optic pigtail cable is made up of a short strand of fiber. A connector at one end that interfaces with the equipment and bare fiber at the other end to be spliced to the fiber of the main cable.
At the exposed end of the pigtail cable, the colored coating is stripped (Coating) and fused or spliced to a fiber or a backbone multifiber.
A pigtail splice "opens" the multi-fiber backbone for connection to final equipment.
