Shop ST fiber patch cords for network, telecommunications, industrial and legacy fiber-optic equipment. Wallco offers ST-to-ST and mixed-connector patch cables in single-mode and multimode configurations and multiple lengths.
Compare cords by connector type at each end, fiber mode, simplex or duplex construction and equipment compatibility.
ST connectors use a bayonet-style connection commonly encountered in existing network, telecommunications and industrial fiber installations. Finished ST patch cords remain important for maintaining equipment and fiber systems that continue to use this connector format.
ST-to-ST cables connect compatible ST interfaces directly and are available in several fiber constructions and lengths. Check the fiber specification as well as the connectors before replacing an existing patch cord.
Hybrid ST patch cords transition between ST and another fiber connector format such as SC or LC. These assemblies are useful when existing fiber infrastructure must connect with equipment using a different optical interface.
ST connectors can be used with different fiber types, so connector style alone does not determine optical compatibility. Verify whether the equipment and installed fiber require single-mode or multimode cable before ordering.
ST interfaces continue to appear in established communications, control and industrial systems. Matching the existing connector type, fiber mode and cable construction can allow older equipment to remain connected without unnecessary changes to the installed fiber plant.
Confirm the connector at each end first, followed by the required fiber mode, simplex or duplex construction and cable length. For existing installations, compare the replacement cord with the fiber specification already in service.
