Unlike a patch cord—which has connectors on both ends—the bare fiber end of a pigtail is designed to be permanently spliced (either by fusion or mechanical splicing) to the incoming fiber cable in...

It can be attached to optical fibers by fusion or mechanical splicing. Given the access to a fusion splicer, you can splice the pigtail right onto the cable in a minute or less, which greatly speeds the splicing

A fiber pigtail is a short fiber optic cable with a factory-installed connector at one end and a bare fiber at the other, allowing it to be spliced directly into fiber cabling or patch panels.
