ST Single Mode Connector

The ST connector holds a single fiber in a standard-sized (2.5 mm) ceramic ferrule. The connector body is made of a plastic composite, and the connector couples using a twist-lock mechanism. This connector type is often found in data communications applications. The ST is versatile, and very popular, as well as comparably cheaper than some other connector styles.
