SC Fibre Pigtails Price in Kenya
SC fibre pigtails are factory-terminated fibre optic cables with an SC connector on one end and a bare fibre on the other, specifically designed for permanent fibre termination through fusion splicing. They are widely used in Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs), fibre termination boxes, splice closures, patch panels, FTTH installations, enterprise networks, and telecommunications infrastructure. Since the connector is factory polished, SC fibre pigtails provide lower insertion loss and more reliable optical performance than field-installed connectors.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, we supply premium SC/APC and SC/UPC fibre pigtails manufactured using high-quality Single Mode (OS2) and Multimode (OM2, OM3, and OM4) optical fibres. Every pigtail is factory tested to ensure low insertion loss, excellent return loss, and dependable long-term performance. Our SC fibre pigtails are ideal for GPON, EPON, FTTH, enterprise LANs, CCTV fibre systems, and high-speed telecommunications networks.
Our range includes SC/APC, SC/UPC, Single Mode, Multimode, 0.9mm tight-buffered pigtails, and 12-colour pigtail kits, all designed for fast, reliable fusion splicing and long-lasting optical connectivity.

SC fibre pigtails are among the most widely used fibre termination products because they provide a permanent, low-loss connection between fibre optic cables and networking equipment. The video above demonstrates how SC fibre pigtails are prepared, fusion spliced, and installed inside Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs), fibre termination boxes, splice closures, and patch panels to create reliable fibre optic connections.
Unlike fibre patch cords that have connectors on both ends, SC fibre pigtails feature a factory-polished SC connector on one end and a bare fibre on the other. This design allows technicians to perform precision fusion splicing, producing lower insertion loss, better optical performance, and improved long-term reliability. SC/APC pigtails are commonly used in FTTH and GPON networks because their angled connector polish significantly reduces back reflection, while SC/UPC pigtails are widely used in enterprise and telecommunications applications.
At Fiber Optics Kenya, we supply premium SC 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 provide professional installation support and nationwide delivery for projects of every size.
