Specification Sheet
Description
OFS’ FiberWire ST connectors are designed for use with OFS’
TK-7 crimp and cleave termination kits. Our ST style connec-
tors take less than two minutes per end to terminate because of
the chemical and mechanical properties of OFS’ HCS fiber
cladding.
ST connectors are compatible with the following OFS cables:
• 100 µm, FlightGuide
- BC05082, simplex
• 200 µm, Avioptics
- AC02201-10, simplex
• 200 µm
- AC01281-10, simplex
- AC01282-10, zipcord
- AC03720-10, duplex
- AC02602-10, 2-fiber
- AC01284-10, 4-fiber
- AC01285-10, 6-fiber
• 200 µm, Large core
- AC01287-10, simplex
- AC01287-12, simplex
- AC01287-15, simplex
