'FibreOptics'ST/PC Connectors
Overview
The CTEC ST fibre optic connector comprises a nickel plated brass or full die-cast body together with a full ceramic ferrule. These connectors are suitable for 900µm and 2-3mm cables. The connector is precision made and the combination of a ceramic ferrule and precision metal housing provides consistent long-term mechanical and optical performance.
