LC Fibre Pigtails Price in Kenya
LC fibre pigtails are premium fibre optic termination cables featuring an LC connector on one end and a bare optical fibre on the other, making them ideal for permanent fibre terminations through fusion splicing. Due to their compact Small Form Factor (SFF) design, LC fibre pigtails are widely used in high-density fibre optic installations such as data centres, enterprise LANs, optical distribution frames (ODFs), FTTH deployments, telecommunications networks, and fibre termination boxes.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, we supply high-quality LC/UPC and LC/APC fibre pigtails manufactured using premium Single Mode (OS2) and Multimode (OM2, OM3, and OM4) optical fibres. Every LC fibre pigtail is factory polished and tested to ensure low insertion loss, excellent return loss, and dependable long-term performance. Their compact LC connector design makes them ideal for modern high-density networking equipment including switches, routers, SFP modules, patch panels, and fibre distribution frames.
Our product range includes LC/APC, LC/UPC, OS2 Single Mode, OM2, OM3, OM4, G657A2 Bend-Insensitive, and 12-colour LC pigtail kits, suitable for professional fibre optic installations of every size.

LC fibre pigtails have become the preferred choice for modern fibre optic installations because their compact connector design allows significantly higher port density than larger connector types. The video above demonstrates how LC fibre pigtails are fusion spliced and installed in optical distribution frames, fibre termination boxes, patch panels, and data centre cabinets to create permanent, low-loss fibre optic connections.
Unlike fibre patch cords that have connectors at both ends, LC fibre pigtails feature a factory-terminated LC connector on one end and a bare fibre on the other for fusion splicing. This provides more consistent optical performance, lower insertion loss, and improved long-term reliability compared to field-installed connectors. LC connectors are particularly popular in high-density data centres, enterprise networks, GPON systems, and cloud computing environments because of their compact size and outstanding performance.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, we supply premium LC 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 fibre engineers provide expert consultation, professional installation support, and nationwide delivery to ensure every fibre project is completed to the highest standards.
