The FC connectors use a threaded position keyed
coupling connection while the ST connectors feature a
bayonet twist-lock (j-slot) connection. These connections,
combined with the precision-machined zirconia ferrule/
alignment sleeve, ensure perfectly reproducible termini
alignment every time. When used with an FC adapter,
ST adapter, or Permanent Bulkhead Feedthrough (PBF)
respectively, the result is a hermetically sealed connection
protected from wet environments and particulates that
can irreversibly degrade optical fiber.
The DRY™ HP Series is intended for use in harsh
environments where the assemblies are likely to be
submerged in water or subjected to rain, ice, high
humidity, or temperatures from -55°C to 85°C (-67°F
to 185°F). All FC and ST connectors have passed
stringent immersion and heat/humidity tests with
minimal light loss.
