ST Connectors & Adaptors
The SC connector is one of the most popular connectors 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 SC connector has set the standard for
optical fibre connectors. SC connectors are manufactured using the best quality components and they exceed all areas of the
standards covering optical fibre connectors.
The ST Connector has been the mainstay of optical fibre connectors for many years. It can be found in almost every
communications room worldwide, but used mainly in data communications systems.
The one-piece design features pre-radiused ceramic ferrules, and are suitable for use with two part heat curing epoxies and
cold cure anaerobic adhesives. Available with both 900um boots for pigtail termination or 3.0mm crimp ring & boot for patch
cord production. Simplex and duplex versions available (duplex version uses two simplex connectors with a clip to be coupled
as required). Generally there are two types of alignment sleeve within an adaptor; phosphor bronze for multimode or zirconia
(ceramic) for singlemode.
The ST optical fibre 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.
Connectors are suitable for use with two part heat curing epoxies and cold cure anaerobic adhesives. The ST adaptor set
the standard for optical fibre interconnects. With its simple to use bayonet locking mechanism, it preventing accidental
disconnection. With the precision housing this adaptor gives the very best performance. Generally there are two types of
alignment sleeve within an adaptor; phosphor bronze for multimode or zirconia (ceramic) for singlemode.
