The ST connector (developed by AT&T), also called BFOC 2.5 the Bayonet Fiber Optic Connector 2.5 mm, has a simple design targeting Datacom network applications. The ST family has been one of the most commonly used connectors in networking applications. However, due to their construction (ST-1 connectors can easily be pulled out of contact and have inherent transversal force problems), they have been replaced by SC and LC connectors.
