What are fiber optic pigtails? Briefly speaking, a fiber pigtail is a single, short, usually tight-buffered, unjacketed fiber optic cable with a factory pre-terminated connector on one end and un-terminated fiber on the other end. When fiber pigtail versus fiber patch cords, it鈥檚 obviously that fiber pigtail has only one end with connector installed and the other end is left open, thus it has only one connector type.
