The Lightwave LW-PT-LCU-SM Fiber Pigtail is a single-mode fiber termination component designed to connect optical fiber cables to compatible LC/UPC equipment. The factory-terminated LC/UPC connector provides a consistent optical interface, while the unconnectorized fiber end can be spliced to an incoming fiber cable. The model is listed as a 2-meter pigtail using G.652.D OS2 9/125µm single-mode fiber.
It is suitable for professional fiber installations including FTTH networks, telecommunications infrastructure, ISP networks, optical distribution frames, fiber patch panels and data-center cabling. Its compact 900µm tight-buffered design also makes it practical for organized routing inside splice trays and fiber distribution equipment.

These specifications are based on current Kenyan listings for the LW-PT-LCU-SM, which identify the model as a 2-meter LC/UPC single-mode pigtail.
Single-mode G.652.D fiber provides reliable optical transmission for long-distance network links.
9/125µm OS2 construction is suitable for standard single-mode telecom infrastructure.
Typical insertion loss below 0.15dB helps minimize signal loss at the connection point.
Return loss of 55dB or greater helps reduce reflected optical energy.
LC/UPC termination provides accurate fiber alignment for compatible optical equipment.
Supports commonly used 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths.
The factory-terminated connector helps provide consistent connector performance during installation.
Performance depends on proper splicing, connector cleanliness, optical equipment and correct fiber handling.
Compact 900µm tight-buffered fiber is designed for easy handling during termination.
LC connector construction is space-efficient for high-density fiber installations.
Zirconia ceramic ferrule provides accurate alignment of the optical fiber.
2-meter length gives technicians sufficient cable for routing inside optical enclosures.
10mm minimum bend radius supports routing through compact splice trays while helping prevent excessive bending.
The pigtail is designed with one factory-terminated connector and one fiber end intended for splicing.
LSZH jacketed versions are available in listings for indoor applications.
Uses an LC/UPC connector on one end.
Designed for compatible single-mode optical fiber equipment.
The opposite fiber end can be fusion-spliced or mechanically spliced to the main fiber cable.
Suitable for connection to compatible LC/UPC adapters, patch panels and optical distribution equipment.
Can be integrated into FTTH, ISP, telecom and enterprise fiber infrastructure.
Suitable for optical distribution frames and splice trays requiring LC termination.
Connector polish should match the requirements of the connected optical equipment.
FTTH installations: Terminating subscriber and distribution fiber connections.
ISP networks: Connecting single-mode fiber cables to optical distribution equipment.
Telecommunications: Supporting fiber termination and optical network deployment.
ODFs: Providing LC/UPC termination within optical distribution frames.
Fiber patch panels: Connecting spliced fiber cables to LC-based patching systems.
Data centers: Useful for high-density single-mode fiber termination.
Enterprise networks: Supporting structured optical cabling installations.
Fiber repairs: Useful when replacing or adding a terminated fiber section.
What connector does the Lightwave LW-PT-LCU-SM use?
It uses an LC/UPC connector.
Is the Lightwave LW-PT-LCU-SM single-mode?
Yes. It uses G.652.D OS2 single-mode 9/125µm fiber.
How long is the Lightwave LW-PT-LCU-SM?
The listed cable length is 2 meters.
What is a fiber pigtail used for?
A fiber pigtail provides a factory-terminated connector on one end and an unterminated fiber end that can be spliced to a main fiber cable during network termination.
Can the Lightwave LW-PT-LCU-SM be used for FTTH?
Yes. It is suitable for FTTH, ISP and telecommunications fiber installations.
What is the difference between LC/UPC and LC/APC?
Both use the LC connector format, but UPC and APC have different fiber-end polishing designs. The correct polish should be selected according to the optical equipment and network requirements.
What is the minimum bend radius?
The listed minimum bend radius is 10mm.
Does the pigtail have an LC connector on both ends?
No. A fiber pigtail normally has one factory-installed connector, while the other end is left unconnectorized for splicing. The LW-PT-LCU-SM is specified as an LC/UPC pigtail.
What is the price of the Lightwave LW-PT-LCU-SM Fiber Pigtail in Kenya?
Based on the supplied price of KSh 300, the listed Kenya price range is KSh 300 – KSh 5,300.
