ST® Connectors & Adapters FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS Features and Benefits The ST® series of lightwave connectors are specially designed for distribution applications and are fully compatible with existing ST® type hardware. The screwon captivation mechanism in the long boot style provides excellent Kevlar® retention without the expense and inconvenience of crimp tools. If the crimping method of Kevlar® retention is preferred, two options are available. A long boot style is designed to superior strain relief and a 90˚ boot style is designed for sensitive applications where controlled and managed bends are required. A boot for 900µm buffered fibre is also available for direct termination. A broad range of ST® adapters are available to compliment the connectors. Metallic or polymer versions are available for both multimode and singlemode applications. ■ High performance multimode and singlemode pre- polished ferrules. ■ ST® compatible bayonet coupling. ■ Field installable. ■ Standard crimp and crimpless screw type Kevlar® Performance and Specifications Min Max Comments Durability 0.1dB Per FOTP-21A, 1000 cycles.
