Fiber Optic
Connectors
Fiber optic repeaters use one pair of ST, one pair of SC, or one pair of SM
type connectors per port connection.
If your existing network uses ST and SMA systems, an ST-SMA, ST-SC, or
an SMA-SC hybrid cable is commercially available. This cable is a one
meter duplex fiber optic cable with an ST, SC, or SMA connector on one
end and a different one of the three connector types on the other. It
therefore allows easy conversion from one type of connector to the other.
Figure 25 shows the ST (Straight Tip) model whose attachment points
connect bayonet-style.
Attention
The ST connector is keyed. Gently rotate the connector to ensure proper
mating of the ST plug receptacle. Be careful not to force the connector
mating or you might damage the hub’s connector.
Figure 26 shows the square push-pull SC connector. Also shown is the
optional duplexing clip.
Attention
The SC connector may be installed with an optional duplexing clip, as
shown in Figure 26 above. This clip helps prevent confusion between the
transmit/receive (TX/RX) left-right sequence when an SC connector is
plugged into an SC plug receptacle.
