 Features/Benefits

  • ST connector body and coupling nut are flame-retardant, lightweight polymer.

  • STII connector body is zinc die-cast and nickel-plated for strength and corrosion resistance.

  • High precision zirconia ferrules reduce insertion and return loss.

  • Available in singlemode (SM) and multimode (MM) versions.

  • Boot options: 900µm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 45°/90° and flex boots.
