The Bayonet ST* cable assemblies, available in both multimode and single-mode,
are supplied with a high quality PC finish on zirconia ceramic ferrules. A PC
finish is a convex radius finish on the fiber and ferrule of the connector resulting
in a positive contact of two mated fibers. The PC zirconia ferrule assures low
attenuation and reflected power.
The ST* product line provides high repeatability and low light loss for
premises, LAN and telco applications. The 3M connector design is compatible
with the Systimax* components and other ST* connector products.

The Push-Pull ST* cable assemblies have been designed to incorporate a push-pull
latching mechanism that allows the connectors to be inserted straight into the
coupling using the housing or boot. The connector is also resistant to lateral and
axial pull for increased reliability. The cable assemblies can be converted from
simplex to duplex quickly and easily in the field using the Push-Pull Duplex Clip
with no additional tools or training.
