Description

This Expanded Beam Pigtail allows the Warfighter to purchase a four-channel individual Expanded Beam Connector two meters in length. A “pigtail” is simply a length of cable with a connector on one end and no connector(s) on the other end. KITCO first makes a four meter High Quality Jumper (HQJ), factory polished and tested to assure a pristine, low loss end-face, and cut in half to provide one each of the MFOCA (Expanded Beam), 4-Channel, Mixed Mode Pigtail. This replenishment pigtail consists of two each 50/125µm fiber cable components, and two each 9/125µm fiber components. These Expanded Beam Reels of fiber are widely used by the United States Marine Corps. This pigtail is used in conjunction with the KITCO 0831-1120-M Quad EL Fusion Splice Kit. Two pigtails are supplied in the 0831-1120-M Kit and may be used in conjunction with the eight (8) JPS-400 Plus’s found in the kit. The supplies found in this kit enables the Warfighter to repair a severed Expanded Beam MFOCA Fiber cable link or to splice a pigtail to replace a broken or damaged connector. This can be done in the harsh desert environments and will now allow the reel of fiber to be returned to normal use. Now the Warfighter has an alternative to throwing away expensive reels – they can be repaired in theater, quickly and efficiently! NO TRAINING REQUIRED!
