FC Fibre Pigtails Price in Kenya
FC fibre pigtails are precision fibre optic termination cables featuring an FC connector on one end and a bare optical fibre on the other, making them ideal for permanent fibre termination using fusion splicing. The FC (Ferrule Connector or Fixed Connector) uses a threaded metal coupling mechanism, providing a secure connection that resists vibration and accidental disconnection. This makes FC fibre pigtails particularly suitable for telecommunications, CATV systems, industrial networking, optical testing equipment, and laboratory environments.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, we supply premium FC/UPC and FC/APC fibre pigtails manufactured using high-quality Single Mode (OS2) and Multimode (OM2, OM3, and OM4) optical fibres. Every FC fibre pigtail is factory polished and individually tested to ensure low insertion loss, excellent return loss, and dependable long-term performance. Their rugged metal connector design makes them ideal for applications where stability and precision are critical.
Our range includes FC/APC, FC/UPC, OS2 Single Mode, OM2, OM3, OM4, G657A2 Bend-Insensitive, and 12-colour FC fibre pigtail kits, providing reliable solutions for professional fibre optic installations across Kenya.

FC fibre pigtails are trusted for fibre optic installations where a secure, vibration-resistant connection is essential. The video above demonstrates how FC fibre pigtails are fusion spliced and installed inside optical distribution frames, splice closures, fibre termination boxes, and telecommunications cabinets to create permanent, low-loss fibre optic connections.
The distinguishing feature of the FC connector is its threaded metal coupling mechanism, which securely locks the connector into place. This threaded design makes FC fibre pigtails highly suitable for environments exposed to vibration or movement, including industrial facilities, telecommunications exchanges, optical laboratories, and CATV systems. Factory-polished FC connectors also provide excellent insertion loss and return loss characteristics, ensuring stable and reliable optical communication.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, we supply premium FC 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 networking solutions. Our experienced engineers offer expert consultation, professional installation services, and nationwide delivery for projects throughout Kenya.
