ST SM/MM Connector Kits


Description

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 Optronics 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 2mm and 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.
