Black Box FOPT50S1-SC-12YL-3

Overview

The Black Box FOPT50S1-SC-12YL-3 is a 12-strand singlemode fiber optic pigtail cable designed to streamline fiber connections in network environments. It features OS1 singlemode fiber with a 9-micron core, supporting wavelengths of 1310 and 1550 nanometers for standard singlemode applications. At 3 meters (9.6 feet) in length, this cable offers a practical reach for various installation setups, combining durability with ease of handling thanks to its yellow PVC jacket.

Key features

• 12-strand configuration allows multiple fiber connections simultaneously, improving network scalability.
• Preterminated SC/UPC connectors enable quick and reliable integration into adapter panels without additional termination work.
• Low insertion loss of 0.2 dB ensures minimal signal degradation, maintaining high data transmission quality.
• High return loss of 50 dB reduces signal reflection, enhancing overall network performance.
• Yellow PVC jacket provides a balance of protection and flexibility, making cable routing and management easier in tight spaces.
• Compatible with common singlemode wavelengths (1310 and 1550 nm), fitting a wide range of fiber optic systems.
• Limited lifetime warranty offers assurance of long-term durability and reliability in demanding environments.

Connectivity and compatibility

This pigtail cable is designed to splice directly to trunk fiber cables on one end, while the other end plugs into standard SC/UPC adapter panels. Its compatibility with OS1 singlemode fiber and common wavelengths makes it suitable for use in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networks where reliable fiber connections are essential. The cable’s 12-strand design supports multiple simultaneous connections, which is beneficial for complex network infrastructures.

Installation and setup

The cable’s 3-meter length provides enough slack for flexible routing without excess bulk, simplifying installation in fiber termination enclosures or cable management boxes. The preterminated SC/UPC connectors reduce installation time by eliminating the need for field termination, allowing technicians to focus on splicing and securing connections. The durable yet flexible yellow PVC jacket helps protect the fiber while making it easier to manage within confined spaces.

Ideal uses and environments

This fiber optic pigtail cable is well suited to environments that demand high-performance and reliable fiber connections, such as data centers, telecom closets, and enterprise network backbones. It fits well in setups requiring multiple fiber strands to be connected quickly and efficiently, supporting network upgrades or new installations. Technicians and network administrators will appreciate its balance of performance, durability, and ease of use in professional fiber optic systems.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
