7.7.7 Patch Cords and Pigtails
<br />Utilize factory pre -terminated assemblies that adhere to the applicable cable, cordage and fiber
<br />specifications stated within this Technical Special Provision. All pigtails shall have a 3mm outer
<br />jacket unless otherwise noted. All pigtails shall use the same glass manufacturer and core
<br />diameter as the fiber it is being fusion spliced to. All IP assemblies shall meet NEC jacketing
<br />requirements for this project's application and shall have outer jacket coloration of yellow and
<br />aqua for multi -mode. The connector shall accommodate the fiber type and size associated with
<br />this project.
<br />No splices of any type are allowed within an assembly. Each assembly shall be individually
<br />packaged within a plastic bag, with the submitted manufacturer's part number marked clearly
<br />on the outside. Each assembly shall be labeled as directed by the Owner.
