These in-series fiber adapters are intended for panel mounting using rectangular cutouts and provide a straight-through connection for ST female connectors. The duplex configuration supports organized fiber routing in LAN, security, and FTTX applications where consistent optical alignment is required.
What alignment sleeve options are available for ST duplex couplers?
L-com offer these duplex ST fiber optic couplers with either bronze or ceramic alignment sleeves to accommodate different fiber modes and system requirements. Our L-com duplex fiber optic couplers with bronze alignment sleeves are commonly used for multimode fiber applications, while ceramic alignment sleeves support single mode and multimode fiber connections. Both versions are compatible with PC and UPC polished ST fiber connectors, allowing flexibility in mixed network deployments.
What construction materials are used in ST to ST fiber couplers?
ST duplex fiber couplers feature a metal body constructed from zinc alloy with nickel plating, supporting durability in commercial and high EMI/RFI environments. Bayonet-style ST interfaces on both sides allow standard mating with ST connectors, while dust caps help reduce exposure to debris and contamination when ports are not in use. The metal adapter body supports stable alignment during repeated connections and disconnections.
What are the physical dimensions of duplex ST fiber optic couplers?
L-com provide Duplex ST fiber optic couplers with a compact form factor measuring approximately 1.18 inches in length, 1.21 inches in width, and 0.37 inches in height. The compact dimensions support panel and enclosure installations using rectangular cutout mounting with flange options. This compact form factor enables organized fiber routing and structured cable management in data centers, LAN, security, and FTTX networking environments.
How are duplex ST fiber optic couplers mounted?
L-com duplex ST fiber optic couplers are designed with flange mounting options to support secure installation in panels and enclosures. The in-series fiber adapters are intended for panel mounting using rectangular cutouts, providing a straight-through connection for ST female connectors. This mounting design supports organized fiber routing and structured cable management in LAN, security, FTTX, and industrial applications requiring consistent optical alignment.
What fiber types are compatible with ST to ST duplex couplers?
L-com duplex ST to ST fiber optic couplers with bronze alignment sleeves are commonly used for multimode fiber applications, while ceramic alignment sleeves support single mode and multimode fiber connections.
