New bulk packaging options for fibre pigtails eliminate
individual bags for reduced installation time and waste

iemon, a global network
infrastructure specialist, has
recently added a bulk packaging
option for its line of XGLO fibre
optical pigtails in the Middle East. An
expansion to its line of LightHouse
advanced fibre cabling solutions,
these 900-micron buffered pigtails
are security packaged in a protective
recyclable container. Aligned with
Siemon’s commitment to delivering
installer-friendly solutions and
protecting the environment, this bulk

packaging option eliminates individual
bags for reduced installation time
and waste.
Ideal for splicing applications, the bulk
fibre pigtails come in both OM3 and OM4
multimode and singlemode fibre types
in fibre counts of 12 for SC connectivity
and in 12 or 24 for LC connectivity.
The pigtails are available with a TIA/
EIA-598-C colour code option for easy
identification when splicing, ensuring
continuity of colour codes throughout a
cable run. The singlemode pigtails also

include an APC-style connector option to
support passive optical networks, CATV
and FTTX applications.
At Siemon, we are always looking for
new ways to provide cost savings to our
customers, while also considering our
ongoing commitment to protecting the
environment. Not only do these bulk
package pigtails eliminate individual
bags for reduced labour, freight and
waste, but they also provide savings over
non-bulk pigtails that help our customers
lower their total bill of material cost.
