APC Fibre Pigtails Price in Kenya
APC (Angled Physical Contact) Fibre Pigtails are factory-terminated fibre optic cables featuring an 8-degree angled polished connector on one end and a bare optical fibre on the other for permanent fusion splicing. The angled polish dramatically reduces back reflection by directing reflected light into the fibre cladding instead of back toward the laser source. This makes APC fibre pigtails the preferred choice for GPON, XGS-PON, FTTH, CATV, WDM, FTTx, and high-performance optical communication systems where low reflectance is critical.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, we supply premium APC Fibre Pigtails manufactured using high-quality OS2 Single Mode G.652D and G.657A2 bend-insensitive fibres. Every APC pigtail is precision factory-polished and individually tested to guarantee low insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and excellent return loss (≥60 dB) for reliable long-term performance. Our APC pigtails are compatible with leading GPON equipment from Huawei, Nokia, ZTE, FiberHome, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, TP-Link, and many other networking platforms.
Our product range includes SC/APC, LC/APC, FC/APC, ST/APC, 12-Core APC Fibre Pigtails, G657A2 Bend-Insensitive APC Pigtails, Armoured APC Pigtails, and custom APC fibre assemblies suitable for fibre termination boxes, ODFs, splice closures, patch panels, and enterprise fibre networks.

APC Fibre Pigtails are the industry standard for modern FTTH, GPON, and passive optical networks because they minimize optical reflections that can interfere with laser transmitters and degrade network performance. The video above demonstrates how APC fibre pigtails are prepared, fusion spliced, and installed inside fibre distribution boxes, optical distribution frames, splice closures, and patch panels to create permanent, low-loss optical terminations.
The defining feature of an APC connector is its 8-degree angled polished ferrule, which directs reflected light away from the fibre core instead of back toward the optical transmitter. This significantly improves return loss compared to UPC connectors, making APC pigtails the preferred choice for GPON, XGS-PON, CATV, and WDM systems where optical reflections must be kept to an absolute minimum. APC connectors are typically identified by their green connector housing, while UPC connectors are usually blue.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, we supply premium APC Fibre Pigtails together with fibre optic cables, patch cords, adapters, ODFs, splice closures, media converters, SFP modules, OTDR testing equipment, fusion splicing services, and complete fibre optic installation solutions. Our experienced engineers provide expert consultation, professional installation support, and nationwide delivery for projects throughout Kenya.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is an APC Fibre Pigtail?
An APC Fibre Pigtail is a fibre optic cable with an 8-degree angled polished connector on one end and a bare fibre on the other for permanent fusion splicing.
2. What is the price of APC Fibre Pigtails in Kenya?
APC Fibre Pigtails generally cost between KES 100 and KES 600, depending on the connector type, fibre specification, and cable construction.
3. What does APC mean?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, referring to the 8-degree polished ferrule that minimizes optical back reflection.
4. What is the difference between APC and UPC?
APC connectors have an 8-degree angled polish and typically provide ≥60 dB return loss, while UPC connectors have a flat ultra-physical polish with approximately ≥50 dB return loss. APC connectors are preferred for GPON, FTTH, CATV, and WDM systems.
5. Where are APC Fibre Pigtails commonly used?
They are widely used in GPON, XGS-PON, FTTH, CATV, telecommunications, fibre distribution boxes, ODFs, splice closures, and enterprise fibre networks.
6. Can APC and UPC connectors be connected together?
No. APC and UPC connectors should not be directly mated because the different polish angles can increase insertion loss and potentially damage the connector end faces.
