Fibre Optic Cabling
ST Connectors & Adaptors
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 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 900 μm and 2-3
mm 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.
