  • What is the appropriate curing temperature for fiber optic pigtails

    What is the appropriate curing temperature for fiber optic pigtails

    The epoxy's temperature is influenced by the mass of the connector, so it may take 2 or 3 minutes for the epoxy's internal temperature to reach 100 degrees C. Your total curing time maybe 12 minutes, not 10. A fiber optic pigtail is a short length of optical fiber —typically 0. The connector end is polished and tested under factory conditions, ensuring low insertion loss and high return loss. The bare fiber end. A fiber pigtail is typically a fiber optic cable with one end factory pre-terminated fiber connector and the other exposed fiber. Compared with quick termination or epoxy and polish connections placed on the field. Factories terminating fibers use heat-cured epoxies because they produce the best performing most reliable connectors.
