C-LIGHT ST SM Patch Cord is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable featuring a bayonet-style ST connector with a metal housing and spring-loaded mechanism. The secure coupling structure provides reliable connection retention and vibration resistance, making it suitable for industrial environments, telecom rooms, testing systems, and other applications requiring mechanically robust fiber connections. It supports 1310 nm and 1550 nm transmission with low insertion loss and high return loss.

Key Features of ST SM Patch Cord

Bayonet-Style ST Connector

The ST connector uses a bayonet coupling mechanism that provides secure mating and convenient installation for applications requiring stable fiber connections.

Metal Connector Housing

The metal housing adds mechanical strength to the connector assembly and supports reliable operation in demanding fiber connection environments.

Vibration-Resistant Connection

The spring-loaded connector structure helps maintain stable contact under vibration, making the patch cord suitable for industrial and other high-reliability applications.

Single-Mode Transmission

The patch cord is designed for single-mode optical transmission and supports commonly used 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths.

Low Insertion Loss

With insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB, the patch cord helps minimize optical loss at the connection point and maintain efficient fiber link performance.

Multiple Cable Options

0.9 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm cable diameters are available with PVC, OFNR, OFNP, and LSZH material options for different installation requirements.

ST SM Patch Cord Configurations

ST/UPC-ST/UPC

The ST/UPC-ST/UPC configuration provides a standard single-mode connection using UPC-polished ST connectors on both ends.

Single-Core Design

Single-core configurations provide a compact option for simplex single-mode optical connections in equipment and fiber distribution systems.

Dual-Core Design

Dual-core configurations support duplex fiber connections where separate transmit and receive paths are required.

Flexible Cable Construction

The available 0.9 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm cable structures provide flexibility for compact routing, standard patching, and applications requiring additional mechanical protection.

Fiber and Material Options

Multiple Single-Mode Fibers

Available fiber types include G652D, G657A1, G657A2, G655, G657B3, and SMF28e for different transmission and installation requirements.

PVC Jacket

PVC construction provides a practical cable option for standard indoor fiber patching and equipment connection environments.

OFNR and OFNP Options

OFNR and OFNP jacket configurations provide additional choices for fiber cabling installations with specific flame-retardant requirements.

LSZH Construction

LSZH cable options are available for applications where low-smoke and halogen-free cable materials are preferred.

Applications

Industrial Fiber Networks

The robust ST connector and mechanical structure make the patch cord suitable for industrial communication systems where connection stability is important.

Telecom Rooms

ST SM Patch Cords can be used for connections between optical equipment, fiber distribution systems, and other telecom infrastructure.

Testing and Measurement

The secure ST interface provides a practical connection solution for optical testing systems and measurement environments requiring repeatable fiber connections.

Military and High-Reliability Equipment

The mechanically robust connector structure can support specialized equipment and fiber systems where secure physical connections are important.

How to Select the Right ST SM Patch Cord

Selection should consider the required ST connector configuration, fiber type, core count, cable diameter, jacket material, and installation environment. Single-core or dual-core construction should match the required optical connection, while 0.9 mm, 2.0 mm, or 3.0 mm cable diameter can be selected according to routing and mechanical protection requirements. PVC, OFNR, OFNP, and LSZH materials provide additional flexibility for different cabling environments.
