Black Box 3m ST OS2 9-Micron SM Fiber Pigtail 12-Strand OFNR PVC Yellow
Introducing a purpose-built, pre-connectorized fiber link designed to accelerate deployments in data centers, telecom closets, and network cabinets. The Black Box 3-meter ST OS2 9-Micron SM Fiber Pigtail 12-Strand OFNR PVC Yellow combines a robust single-mode OS2 fiber with practical, field-ready termination. One end is prepared for seamless splicing to a trunk cable, while the opposite end arrives preterminated with connectors that feed directly into an adapter panel. This means less on-site work, lower risk of termination errors, and faster turnarounds for new builds or upgrades. With its 3-meter length, it offers flexible routing through racks, trays, and cable management boxes while maintaining proper bend radius and tidy cable management. The 12-strand configuration supports higher-density deployments, enabling scalable fiber runs without clutter. The OS2 9-micron single-mode fiber delivers excellent performance for long-distance, high-bandwidth networks, offering low attenuation and reliable signal integrity over distance. The jacket, in a recognizable yellow PVC OFNR (non-conductive) finish, is designed for indoor environments where fire codes and safe, non-conductive installations are priority. Built to endure the rigors of data-center life—from frequent reconfigurations to routine maintenance—this pigtail carries a lifetime guarantee, underscoring Black Box’s commitment to dependable, long-term performance. When you need a dependable, fast-install fiber pigtail that pairs ease of use with high performance, this 3-meter ST OS2 pigtail stands out as a trusted choice for modern fiber networks.

how to install Black Box 3m ST OS2 9-Micron SM Fiber Pigtail 12-Strand OFNR PVC Yellow
- Plan the fiber path: Verify trunk cable routing, identify the adapter panel ports, and confirm bend radius requirements for the 3-meter pigtail to prevent microbends and signal loss.
- Prepare the trunk connection: Complete any required splicing of the trunk cable to the pigtail’s non-preterminated end using your standard fusion splicing equipment and procedures, ensuring clean, quality splices and proper splice protection.
- Route the preterminated end: Carefully route the ST-terminated end toward the designated adapter panel port, aligning with the correct channel to minimize cross-connect errors and maintain clean cable management inside the enclosure.
- Secure and organize: Fasten the pigtail within the enclosure using appropriate cable management accessories such as ties, clips, or organizers to prevent movement, keep slack controlled, and preserve bend radius.
- Test and document: After installation, perform end-to-end optical testing to verify insertion loss and continuity. Label the pigtail and ports for future maintenance and expansions, and record the results for network documentation.
