ST-ST Fiber Optical Patch Cord

 

Overview

ST Fiber Optic Patch Cord stands for Straight Tip- a quick release bayonet style connector developed by AT&T. STs were predominant in the late 80s and early 90s.ST Connectors are among the most commonly used fiber optic connectors in networking applications. They are cylindrical with twist lock coupling, 2.5mm keyed ferrule. The ST connector has a bayonet mount and a long cylindrical ferrule to hold the fiber. Because they are spring-loaded, you have to make sure they are seated properly. They are easily inserted and removed due to their design.
