953 Series ST Connectors
Amphenol’s 953 Series fiber optic ST and ST II
connectors utilize a bayonet style mating concept
to
provide
a
secure, robust
coupling
mechanism. The enclosed spiral slotted coupling
nut allows easy insertion in densely packed patch
panels.
The ST connector has been used extensively in
telecom, data premise installation, and test lab
applications. Special attention has been given to
every ST performance parameter, increasing
product repeatability and exceeding industry
standards. The ST connector is available with a
plastic or die cast body with a ceramic or stainless
steel ferrule.
Features/Benefits
•
The ST connector body and coupling nut are
precision molded with a flame retardant polymer
for a durable and light weight product
The STII connector body and coupling nut are
precision zinc die cast and nickel plated for
superior strength and corrosion resistance
High precision zirconia ferrules minimize insertion
loss and return loss values
Available in singlemode and multimode versions
Available with 900µm, 2.0mm, or 3.0mm boots
Stainless steel ferrules also available on both the
ST and ST II connectors
