A fiber pigtail is a single short, usually unbuffered, optical fibre that has an optical connector on one end and a length of exposed fiber at the other end.
The end of the pigtail is stripped and fusion spliced to a single fiber of a multi-fiber trunk to break out the multi-fiber cable into its component fibers for connection to the end equipment.
Pigtails can have female connectors and be mounted in a patch panel, often in pairs although single-fiber solutions exist, to allow them to be connected to end ponts or other fiber runs with patch fibers. Alternatively they can have male connectors and plug directly into an optical transceiver.
