The **NKFSTMPC5BL** is a specific networking component manufactured by **Panduit**. It is a **Fiber Optic Adapter Patch Module** designed for use within the Pan-Net® system. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic and physical specifications. --- ### 1. Component Overview The NKFSTMPC5BL is a **NetKey® ST to MT-RJ Patch Module**. While it does not contain active silicon chips (like a CPU), it serves as a critical passive electronic interface for optical signal transmission. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | NKFSTMPC5BL | | **Adapter Type** | ST to MT-RJ | | **Fiber Type** | Multimode (OM1 or OM2) | | **Connector Front** | ST Simplex (Metal/Plastic) | | **Connector Rear** | MT-RJ | | **Module Type** | Keystone Leadframe | | **Color** | Black (BL) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Optical Characteristics Because this is a fiber optic component, its "electronics" focus on **Signal Integrity** and **Optical Attenuation**: * **Low Insertion Loss:** Engineered to ensure minimal signal degradation as light passes through the ST-to-MTRJ junction. * **Multimode Compatibility:** Specifically designed for 62.5/125µm or 50/125µm fiber cores, typical in Local Area Networks (LANs). * **Precision Alignment:** Uses high-quality ceramic or metal split sleeves to ensure the fiber cores align perfectly, preventing data packet loss. --- ### 3. Physical Construction The module is built to fit into standard Keystone openings found in patch panels, faceplates, or surface mount boxes. 1. **Housing:** Impact-resistant plastic (typically ABS or Polycarbonate). 2. **ST Adapter:** Features a "twist-and-lock" bayonet mount which provides a secure mechanical connection. 3. **MT-RJ Interface:** A small form factor (SFF) duplex connector that looks similar to an RJ-45 Ethernet plug but carries optical fiber. --- ### 4. Technical Summary Table | Category | Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Mounting** | Keystone compatible | | **Material** | Zirconia Ceramic / Phosphorus Bronze sleeves | | **Operating Temp** | -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F) | | **Compliance** | RoHS Compliant, TIA/EIA-604 FOCIS-2 | ---
