Performance & Reliability
Coupling performance is governed by dimensional fit, fiber preparation, ferrule alignment, end-face quality, retention and strain relief. The bayonet lock gives fast connect/disconnect with a positive click; clean, fully-locked engagement is essential for low loss.
Customization & Ordering
Confirm fiber diameter, ferrule material, polishing/cleaving method, crimp or adhesive process, mating receptacle and whether you also need the bulkhead adapter. All assemblies are terminated, end-face inspected and individually tested before dispatch. Send your drawing, connector pair, fiber type and target volume, and our engineers will return a configuration, sample plan and lead time. Contact our sales team for OEM/ODM support.
FAQ
Q: What does BFOC mean?
A: BFOC (Bayonet Fiber Optic Connector) is the ST-style bayonet lock common in industrial and process-control systems.
Q: Ceramic or metal ferrule?
A: Ceramic for standard glass; metal ferrules are often chosen for larger-core industrial fibers – tell us your fiber.
Q: Is a matching adapter available?
A: Yes, a metal bulkhead ST/BFOC adapter with protective caps is part of the same range.
