OPTI-CRIMP Termination Tooling Termination kit: applications The ST* OPTI-CRIMP Fiber Optic Connector improves an industry standard design. Elimination of end face polishing and adhesive provides for easier, faster installation, especially in remote areas and confined spaces. This reduces installation time over standard field polish ST* connectors by 50%. ST* Fiber Optic Connectors are widely used in fiber optic backbone and horizontal applications for high-speed data transmissions. installer tips Terminate on tight-buffered cable only.
