Signamax FPC-ST09 ST Connector, 9m SM for 250-or-900-m Cable, Blue

Overview

The Signamax FPC-ST09 is a single-mode ST fiber optic connector designed for terminating 250 or 900 micron fiber optic cables. This connector is essential for creating reliable fiber optic links in surveillance and data networks where signal integrity over distance is critical. Its blue color coding helps identify it as a single-mode connector, preventing accidental use with multimode fiber, which would severely degrade performance.

Compatibility

This ST connector is compatible with standard single-mode fiber optic cables featuring either a 250-micron or 900-micron buffer coating. It is designed to integrate with any network equipment, patch panels, or fiber optic termination tools that utilize the ST connector interface. Its use is common in extending network runs for IP cameras, NVRs, and network switches where copper cabling cannot reach or meet bandwidth requirements.

Installation Notes

Termination of the FPC-ST09 requires a specialized fiber optic cleaving tool and a fusion splicer or mechanical splicing technique. Ensure the fiber is properly stripped, cleaned, and cleaved to the correct length (9 meters for the pre-terminated pigtail) for optimal performance. The connector is designed for 250-micron or 900-micron cable jackets, providing flexibility during installation.
