Product Overview
ST Terminal Box is part of the terminal box range built by Ever Expresslink Limited in Ningbo, China. It is built on the ST (Straight Tip) interface.
ST mounts a 2.5 mm ferrule in a bayonet coupling that locks with a quarter turn against a spring. The bayonet pin has to clear the slot fully. A partially rotated ST looks seated but sits off the reference plane and reads high loss.
It is one of 7 items in this range. A typical application is street-level distribution from a feeder to subscriber drops. What the range is built to give you there: weather-sealed versions for outdoor distribution.
The problem it addresses is outdoor boxes whose seals fail after a season. A practical note that applies across this range: label every port at install, not at first fault. Specifications for a particular configuration are confirmed on the quotation rather than assumed from the designation.

Questions About ST Terminal Box
What do you need from us to quote ST Terminal Box?
The quantity, the destination and anything that has to match on your side: connector and polish at each end, fiber mode and core size, and length where the item is an assembly. If you are matching a part you already buy, send the sample and we will quote against it.
Can ST Terminal Box be supplied with a different connector interface?
Yes. ST (Straight Tip) is what this designation carries, and the same family is stocked across the other mainstream connector standards. Tell us the port you have to mate with and we will confirm the equivalent part.
Can boxes be supplied pre-loaded with adapters and pigtails?
Yes, pre-loaded versions cut field time significantly. Specify connector type, polish and pigtail length with the order.
Is a lockable version available for communal areas?
Yes. Lockable doors are normal for risers, stairwells and street-level boxes where public access has to be controlled.
What port count should I choose?
Size for the final take-up on that distribution point rather than the first subscribers. Replacing an undersized terminal box later costs far more than the extra ports do at build time.
