ST (BFOC) POF Fiber Optic Connector Type 4
ST is a JINSHANG TECH ST/BOFC bayonet connector with a precision ferrule for terminating plastic optical fiber and pigtails.
Manufactured for production use rather than as a one-off sample, the ST is built to a stable fiber specification so orders can be repeated with consistent dimensions and performance.
Key Characteristics
- Standard length: 1310nm, 1550nm
- Certified to ISO9001 ,ROHS,CE
- Return loss: ≥50.0dB
- Fiber diameter: 1.0mm
- Operating wavelength: 1310nm, 1550nm
- Operating temperature range: -20 °C to + 70 °C
- Quarter-turn bayonet ST/BFOC coupling that stays seated under vibration
- Precision ferrule for repeatable insertion loss
Typical Applications
The ST is commonly used for industrial POF/HCS links that need a rugged bayonet fit, pigtails and tail fibers for panels and equipment, and instrumentation and control connections. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an ST connector? A: ST (straight tip / BFOC) is a bayonet, quarter-turn-locking fiber connector valued for a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
Q: Does it fit plastic optical fiber? A: ST connectors for POF are supplied with ferrules matched to the plastic or HCS fiber diameter — select the matching ferrule for your cable.
Q: ST vs SC? A: ST twists to lock with a bayonet; SC is a push-pull connector. ST is often preferred where vibration could loosen a push-fit connector.
