LC Connectors & Adapters
Amphenol’s 956 series fiber optic LC connectors utilize the
familiar RJ-45 style latching mechanism. As a small form factor
(SFF) connector, the LC connector is almost half the size of the
popular SC connector. With accelerated growth demanding
greater bandwidth in less physical space, LC connectors have
emerged as a viable solution for high density frames and patch
panels.

ST Connectors and Adapters
Amphenol’s 953 series fiber optic ST and ST II connectors
utilize a bayonet style mating concept to provide a secure,
robust coupling mechanism. The enclosed spiral slotted
coupling nut allows easy insertion in densely packed patch
panels. The ST connector has been used extensively in
telecom, data and premise installation applications and could
easily be considered a de facto standard. The ST’s mass
installation base will maintain its prominence for years to come.
