Optical Cable Corp. 616ST 6-port St Multimode Adapter Plate

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. 616ST is a 6-port ST-style fiber optic adapter plate assembly designed for multimode fiber installations. It provides a structured termination point within fiber optic patch panels, wall plates, or enclosures, allowing technicians to route and connect multimode fiber runs in a clean, organized configuration. The plate accepts ST-style connectors and supports up to six simultaneous fiber connections, making it a practical component in backbone and horizontal cabling systems. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors typically install this part during new construction or retrofit fiber distribution projects.

This adapter plate assembly is suited for multimode fiber optic infrastructure in commercial and institutional settings, including data centers, office buildings, and campus network environments. It fits into standard fiber optic enclosures and patch panel frames that accept modular adapter plate inserts. The 6-port layout provides an efficient use of panel space for ST-terminated multimode fiber runs. It is sold as an individual assembly, one unit per package.

Key Features

• 6-port ST-style adapter configuration for multimode fiber connections
• Modular plate assembly format fits standard fiber enclosures and patch panel frames
• Supports organized fiber termination in backbone and horizontal cabling layouts
• Sold as a single complete assembly, ready for panel installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on insert for fiber optic patch panels and enclosures that accept modular ST adapter plate assemblies in a standard insert form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure the enclosure or patch panel is de-energized and fiber runs are properly managed before inserting the adapter plate. Use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools on ST connectors prior to mating to prevent signal loss. Avoid bending fiber cables beyond their minimum bend radius during routing and termination.
