ST Connectors

About ST Connectors

The ST (Straight Tip) connector is a type of optical fiber connector widely used in networking and telecommunications applications. Developed by AT&T in the 1980s, the ST connector is known for its simple and robust design. It features a bayonet-style coupling mechanism that allows for quick and secure connections. The ST connector uses a 2.5-mm ferrule, a cylindrical component that holds the fiber optic cable in place. The ferrule is usually ceramic to ensure precise alignment and minimize signal loss. The connector’s design includes a keying mechanism to ensure proper alignment during connection, reducing the risk of signal attenuation.

One distinctive feature of the ST connector is its round, metal body, which houses the ferrule and provides stability. The connector is popular in networking environments, including local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs), due to its durability and ease of use. While newer connector types like LC and MTP/MPO have gained popularity in recent years, ST connectors are still found in various legacy systems and continue to be a reliable choice for certain applications. Their straightforward design and long-standing use make them a familiar component in fiber-optic connectivity. Get the ST connectors at the best price at Fiber Accessories in Bangladesh.
