Answer: They both have pigtails. Sounds odd, right? Back in 1996, General Photonics launched a serious mission to cut the pigtails by introducing a family of NoTailTM products. Today, in response to high customer demand, we are pleased to add 4 new members to the NoTailTM family: NoTailTM circulators, NoTailTM PM couplers, NoTailTM PBS/PBC, and NoTailTM high -speed fiber optic switches. These new products come to you with assurance of being easy-to-use, easy-tohandle and easy-to-store. No more worries about breaking the fiber pigtails and no more headaches of having to manage the untamed fiber leads! Additionally, with 4 strong magnets mounted on the back, these devices can also be temporarily, yet securely, placed on optical tables.
