Leviton Telcom 499ST-AQ9 St Mm Fiber Connector OM3 OM4

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 499ST-AQ9 is a FastSplice ST-style fiber optic connector designed for multimode polished contact (PC) terminations on OM3 and OM4 fiber. It ships as a single unit and is used to terminate multimode optical fiber in structured cabling installations. The aqua color coding aligns with industry convention for OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber. This connector is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians, fiber splicing technicians, and structured cabling professionals working in commercial and enterprise network environments.

This connector is suited for indoor fiber optic runs in commercial buildings, data centers, and telecommunications rooms where OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber is specified. The ST bayonet-style coupling makes it compatible with standard ST-type patch panels, wall plates, and active equipment ports. The PC end-face polish reduces back-reflection and insertion loss, supporting reliable data transmission across the link.

Key Features

• ST bayonet-style coupling for secure, tool-free connection and disconnection
• Polished contact (PC) end-face finish reduces insertion loss and back-reflection
• Aqua color coding identifies OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber per industry convention
• FastSplice termination design supports field termination without epoxy and polish
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement or small-count termination work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style field-termination connector for OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber optic cabling installations using ST-type interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic technician following TIA-568 and applicable local codes. De-energize all active equipment connected to the fiber link before terminating. Use manufacturer-specified cleave tools and ensure the fiber end-face is clean and free of contamination before seating in the connector. Inspect the end-face with a fiber microscope after termination and verify with an optical loss test set before placing the link in service.
