Armored Fiber Pigtails

Armored Fiber Pigtails are fiber optic pigtails with an external metal sheath. Typically, fiber pigtails consist of a bare fiber and a plastic outer jacket, whereas Armored Fiber Pigtails add a metal jacket to the outer jacket, usually made of stainless steel or aluminum.

The addition of this metallic sheath makes Armored Fiber Pigtails more durable and resistant to interference. They are able to resist more external pressure, tension and bending, thus providing a more reliable fiber connection in harsh environments.

Armored Fiber Pigtails are typically used in environments where extra protection is needed, such as outdoors, in industrial locations, underground tunnels, and other environments. They protect the fiber from physical damage, crushing, cutting, and other external damage, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the fiber connection.

Armored Fiber Pigtails may be required in special application scenarios where additional protection of the fiber is needed, such as field deployments, high temperature or high humidity environments, and locations with high mechanical vibration.
