1818.0. "Fibre cables for SC-ST2" by CHEFS::HARVEY (Baldly going into the unknown...) Wed Oct 04 1995 07:16

   I'm currently looking to source FDDI cables for 2100's using the DEFPA with 
   SC connectors to a patch-panel with ST2 connectors.
 
   In scanning the DECconnect wiring catalogue I cannot see a suitable cable 
   therein. Do we have a Digital part number for this particular variant or 
   should I go to an external supplier ?
 
   Part No, Price, supply would be very useful.
 
   Thanks

1818.1BN34A cable - but be advisedNPSS::KIRKWed Oct 04 1995 08:2827
    ST to SC cables have the DEC part number BN34A-xx.
    
    The full descriptions are below.  They show up on VTX PRICE.
    
    HOWEVER, please be advised that there was a problem with early versions
    of the push-pull ST connector. On some of our adapters, the PP ST2 did 
    NOT lock onto the tabs.  The PP ST worked well on the patch-panel ST
    connectors.  
    
    You might want to contact DECconnect Engineering (Barry Zink) for an
    update on this product.

1818.2Push-Pull ?CHEFS::HARVEYBaldly going into the unknown...Wed Oct 04 1995 12:2311
   I saw these cables in the DECconnect catalogue and discounted them as being 
   different ST2 types than the ones I'm used to. Can you please explain the 
   difference, if any, between these PP ST2s and the "older" ST2 bayonet (?) 
   types...
 
   Will I get away with using these with plain ol' ST2 bulkhead connectors in a 
   patch-frame ?
 
   Thanks
