Overview
The AFL FAST-ST-MM62.5-100 is a professional-grade kit containing 100 field-installable ST connectors designed for 62.5µm OM1 multimode fiber optic cable. These connectors utilize a pre-stubbed, factory pre-polished ferrule to eliminate the need for field epoxy or polishing, significantly reducing installation time in data center and premise environments.
These connectors are engineered for high-precision mechanical alignment with 900µm cordage. They feature a factory-installed wedge clip system that ensures reliable termination, with the flexibility to allow fiber reinsertion up to three times per connector. These components are fully compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.3 and TIA/EIA-604 FOCIS standards.
