Black Box 3m ST OM1 62.5-Micron MM Fiber Pigtail 12-Strand OFNR PVC Orange
This Black Box 3 meter ST OM1 62.5-micron multimode fiber pigtail is engineered for fast, reliable fiber terminations in professional IT and networking environments. Designed to connect trunk cables to adapter panels with precision, this 12‑strand, preterminated pigtail brings efficiency to fiber termination enclosures and cable management boxes. The orange PVC jacket clearly identifies the cable as high‑density multimode fiber while the OFNR rating ensures safe indoor use in riser-certified installations. One end is prepared for splice to your trunk path, while the opposite end features preterminated connectors that feed directly into a panel, making it a time‑saving solution for data centers, labs, and enterprise networks. With a lifetime guarantee, this pigtail is built to withstand the demands of daily installation, testing, and shifting network requirements, while maintaining signal integrity and physical durability in a compact, organized package.
- Time‑saving, preterminated design: One end comes preterminated and ready to feed into a patch or adapter panel, while the opposite end is prepared for splice to your trunk cable. This arrangement minimizes on-site termination work and accelerates deployment, helping you meet tight project timelines without sacrificing performance or reliability.
- High‑density 12‑fiber MMF OM1 (62.5 µm): This fiber pigtail delivers robust multimode performance for short‑ to medium‑range data links. The 62.5‑micron OM1 specification supports high bandwidth over moderate distances, ideal for data replication, server‑to‑server connections, and intra-rack or intra‑building networks.
- ST connectors for dependable panel integration: The ST (Straight Tip) connectors on the preterminated end provide a secure, widely compatible interface with standard adapter panels and patch panels in fiber termination enclosures, enabling straightforward installation and consistent mating reliability.
- Durable OFNR PVC orange jacket: The orange outer jacket clearly identifies the fiber type and its multimode OM1 composition, while the OFNR (Non‑conductive, Riser) rating ensures safe operation within typical indoor cable routing paths. Its rugged PVC jacket withstands handling during installation and daily cabinet use.
- Ideal for termination enclosures and cable management boxes: This 3 m pigtail is purpose‑built for tidy, organized fiber distribution inside enclosures. It helps maintain orderly fiber routing, reduces slack, and supports clean splices and panel hookups, all while delivering reliable signal transmission for essential network paths.

how to install Black Box 3m ST OM1 62.5-Micron MM Fiber Pigtail
- Plan your run: Verify compatibility with your trunk fiber path, trunk cable specifications, and the adapter panel or patch panel you will feed. Confirm that OM1 62.5 µm fiber suits the link budget and distance requirements for the intended network segment.
- Prepare the trunk connection: If the opposite end is designed for splicing, prepare the trunk cable by stripping jacket material carefully, trimming fibers to the appropriate length, and organizing fibers for a clean splice with minimal microbending or stress.
- Route and secure the pigtail: Feed the 3 m pigtail into the fiber termination enclosure or cable management box, keeping bend radii gentle and maintaining separation from other cables to prevent interference and damage.
- Connect the preterminated end: Align the ST connectors with the corresponding adapter panel or patch panel ports. Gently insert and secure each connector, ensuring a snug fit to maintain reflection and insertion loss standards.
- Complete the splice on the trunk end: If required, perform the splice to the trunk cable following your standard fusion or mechanical splicing process. After splicing, protect the splice junction with appropriate splice protection sleeves and secure with strain relief.
- Test and verify: Use the appropriate optical test equipment to verify continuity, attenuation, and link integrity for all 12 fibers. Document results and label the fibers for easy future maintenance and troubleshooting.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What does OM1 62.5 µm indicate?
- A: OM1 denotes a multimode optical fiber with a core diameter of 62.5 microns. It is suitable for short‑ to medium‑range data transmissions, offering higher bandwidth over shorter distances and compatibility with legacy multimode networks.
- Q: How many fibers are in this pigtail?
- A: This pigtail contains 12 individual fiber strands, enabling high‑density connections from trunk cables to multiple ports or devices in a single run.
- Q: What is OFNR and why does it matter?
- A: OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non‑conductive, Riser. It indicates a non‑conductive cable rated for vertical riser installations, suitable for indoor use in most data centers and office environments without metallic conduction.
- Q: Why choose a preterminated pigtail?
- A: Preterminated fiber pigtails save time by eliminating field termination on one end, providing consistent connector quality and faster deployment, especially in busy data centers or multi‑rack installations.
- Q: Can I use this pigtail in outdoor or outdoor‑adjacent environments?
- A: No. The jacket is PVC orange with an OFNR rating intended for indoor riser applications. For outdoor use, consider an OFNR‑rated or outdoor‑specific option with the appropriate jacket material and environmental protection.
