Ruggedized ST Connector
Overview
Stran Technologies offers Ruggedized ST connectors for applications where conditions are severe, reliability critical, and full compliance to MIL-C-83552 is not mandatory. All connector body parts are precision-machined nickel-plated brass. These connectors are TIA/EIA 604 compliant and compatible with ST style adapters, 900um and 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm cables. We have designed them to be field installable and compatible with standard polishing equipment. These connectors are made with Zirconia ferrules and bellcore boots are available in a number of colors, including green, red, and blue. The best choice for high reliability applications.
