This ST POF Fiber Optic Connector is designed for reliable termination of plastic optical fiber (PMMA core) in industrial and automation environments. It ensures stable signal transmission and easy field installation.
For users requiring pre-terminated cable assemblies, ST patch cords and pigtails are available for both plastic optical fiber (POF) and quartz core HPCF systems.
Aperture diameter: customizable, typically ceramic or metal ferrule, compatible with multimode fiber (50/62.5μm). Single-mode is less commonly used.
Locking method: bayonet rotation lock (rotate 90° after insertion), similar to BNC structure, providing strong vibration resistance.
Shell material: metal or high-strength engineering plastic, suitable for industrial environments.
| Parameter | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Insertion Loss | <0.5dB (typical 0.3dB) | Comparable to FC/SC connectors |
| Return Loss | ≥25dB (PC end face) | Suitable for standard data transmission |
| Tensile Strength | ≥90N | Industrial-grade durability |
| Operating Temperature | -40℃ ~ 70℃ | Adapted for harsh environments |
| Mating Cycles | >1000 times | Long-term stability |
This connector is commonly used with plastic optical fiber assemblies in multimode industrial applications. For factory-terminated cable solutions, please refer to:
These assemblies are suitable for PMMA core fiber systems used in sensors, automation equipment, and short-distance optical transmission.
For applications requiring improved temperature resistance and mechanical durability, ST connectors are also available in quartz core (HPCF) fiber configurations.
Please refer to:
HPCF (Hard Polymer Clad Fiber) cables combine a quartz glass core with polymer cladding, offering enhanced optical stability for CNC systems, servo drives, and industrial communication equipment.
For projects requiring ready-to-install solutions, pre-terminated ST POF and ST HPCF patch cords are recommended to ensure consistent optical performance and reduced installation time.
Used as a transfer node between trunk and branch optical fibers.
Preferred for vibration resistance due to bayonet locking mechanism.
Suitable for workshop-level multimode optical data transmission.
