ST/UPC MM 3.0MM SX BLACK BOOT (GSZ2000-BLK)

The ST/UPC Multimode (MM) 3.0mm Simplex (SX) Black Boot is a heavy-duty strain relief component specifically engineered for ST-type fiber optic connectors. It is designed to provide mechanical support and environmental protection to the fiber cable at its most vulnerable point—the connector junction. Technical Specifications Connector Compatibility: Specifically designed for ST (Straight Tip) connectors, which utilize a 2.5mm ferrule and a twist-lock bayonet mechanism. Polish Type: Optimized for UPC (Ultra Physical Contact), ensuring a precise, domed end-face for superior signal transmission and low back-reflection. Cable Diameter: Tailored for 3.0mm jacketed fiber cables, providing a snug, secure fit. Fiber Mode: Designated for Multimode (MM) applications, typically used with 62.5/125µm (OM1) or 50/125µm (OM2/OM3/OM4) glass fibers. Material: Manufactured from high-grade, flexible elastomer or flame-retardant plastic (often UL 94 V-0 rated) to ensure long-term durability. Operational Role Bend Radius Protection: The slotted "ribbed" design ensures the cable does not exceed its minimum bend radius, preventing signal loss or fiber breakage (micro-bends). Visual Identification: In duplex (two-fiber) configurations, the Black Boot is standardly used to identify the "Receive" (RX) channel, pairing with a red boot on the "Transmit" (TX) side. Industrial Strength: Provides excellent resistance to pull-tension and vibrations, making it ideal for patch panels in industrial and data center environments. Primary Applications Legacy & Industrial Networks: Ideal for older networking hardware and industrial control systems that rely on ST connections. Data Centers: Used in patch cords for high-speed local networking. Test Equipment: Frequently used on the leads of fiber optic testers due to its ruggedness.
