ST* fiber optic connectors shall be compliant
with TIA FOCIS-2. ST* connectors shall
contain a factory terminated pre-polished
multimode fiber, requiring no field polishing
and no adhesive. The fiber shall terminate in a
2.5mm ferrule and have a typical insertion
loss of 0.3dB (62.5/125µm) or 0.35dB
(50/125µm) per connector.

The ST* OPTI-CRIMP Fiber Optic Connector
improves an industry standard design.
Elimination of end face polishing and
adhesive provides for easier, faster
installation, especially in remote areas and
confined spaces. This reduces installation
time over standard field polish ST* connectors
by 50%. ST* Fiber Optic Connectors are
widely used in fiber optic backbone and
horizontal applications for high-speed data
transmissions.
To upgrade from FJMKIT, purchase FVFLKIT
visual fault locator kit.

installer tips
Terminate on tight-buffered cable only.
Always use FVFL Visual Fault Locator
during termination.
