The ST series of lightwave connectors are specially designed for distribution applications and are fully compatible with
existing ST type hardware. Five connector styles are available in both the multimode and singlemode versions. The
screw-on 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, 3 options are available. A long boot
style is designed to provide superior strain relief while the short boot style is designed for small bend radius applications
where space is limited. For sensitive applications where controlled and managed bends are required, the 90° boot is the
answer. A boot for 900µm buffered fiber is also available.
High quality, pre-polished and pre-radiused zirconia ceramic ferrules are combined with the latest engineering polymers and
metals to produce the ST connectors. Pre-polished ferrules minimize the polishing times and provide a consistent ferrule end
face geometry. When combined with the Molex termination kit and methods, the Molex ST connectors produce superior results
both in the factory and in the field.
A broad range of ST adapters are available to compliment the connectors. Metal or polymer versions are available with either
the extremely precise zirconia ceramic, the rugged phosphor bronze or the cost effective polymer alignment sleeves.
