The ST connector has been the main stay of optical fiber connectors for many years. It can be found in almost every communications room world wide, but used mainly in data communications systems. The simple to use bayonet locking mechanism reduces the risks of accidental disconnection. The FiberFab ST optical fiber connector comprises of a nickel plated brass body and a ceramic ferrule/spring/crimp barrel assembly plus a crimp over sleeve and rubber boot. These connectors are suitable for 900µm and 2—3mm cables. The connector is precision made and manufactured to demanding specifications. The combination of a ceramic ferrule and precision metal housing provides consistent long-term mechanical and optical performance. FiberFab has 15 years experience in manufacturing fiber optic connectors and cable assemblies. From Biconic and SMA through ST, SC to today’s Small Form Factor (SFF) connectors like the LC, MU or MT-RJ. If you have a fiber network, no matter what the technology, FiberFab can offer you a solution to your problem. FiberFab has full ISO9001 on all of its manufacturing facilities, so you can be confident you are using the very best in cable, connectors and manufacturing.
Specification: Description The ST connector is the most popular connector used today. It can be seen in every area of the communications environment, from a telecoms distribution room to a local area network closet the ST has set the standard for optical fiber connectors. The FiberFab ST connectors are manufactured using the highest quality components. The connectors exceeds all areas of the standards covering optical fiber connectors.
