Hubbell Premise Wiring FPSCAS3SM Sc/apc Single-mode Fiber Pigtail

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING FPSCAS3SM is a single-mode fiber optic pigtail terminated with an SC/APC connector. A fiber pigtail is a short length of optical fiber with one factory-terminated connector end and one bare fiber end, designed for splicing directly into a fiber distribution or termination enclosure. The SC/APC connector features an angled physical contact (APC) polish that reduces back-reflection, making it well suited for applications where signal integrity and low return loss are critical. Licensed fiber optic technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary users of this component.

This pigtail is used in fiber optic distribution frames, patch panels, splice enclosures, and termination boxes in both commercial and residential structured cabling installations. The 3-meter length provides adequate slack for routing inside enclosures or equipment racks. The SC/APC connector type is common in telecommunications, CATV, and FTTx passive optical network deployments where angled connectors are specified to minimize reflectance at connection points.

Key Features

• SC/APC angled connector reduces back-reflection and return loss compared to SC/UPC terminations
• Single-mode fiber supports long-distance, high-bandwidth optical signal transmission
• 3-meter length provides routing flexibility inside splice or termination enclosures
• Factory-terminated connector end ensures consistent, tested termination quality
• Bare fiber end ready for fusion or mechanical splicing to incoming plant fiber

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for fiber optic termination enclosures, distribution frames, and patch panels that accept SC/APC single-mode pigtails.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trained fiber optic technicians following applicable TIA/EIA structured cabling standards. The bare fiber end is typically fusion-spliced to incoming optical fiber inside a splice tray; mechanical splicing is also an option where fusion equipment is unavailable. Handle the fiber carefully to avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius, and keep all connector end-faces capped or covered until the moment of connection to prevent contamination. Inspect and clean the SC/APC connector with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating.
