Alberox, through their Proform division provides "ST" Series fiber optic connectors for extreme applications. Designed to provide superior reliability and durability, these components feature Alberox's innovative Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology. Utilizing its application engineering expertise, Alberox cost-effectively manufactures these components to meet the specific needs of the telecommunications market.

Designed with durability in mind for extreme applications, Alberox's fiber optic connectors are Metal Injection Molded using 17-4PH, 304L or 316L stainless steel. This MIM process produces components that have a higher strength than zinc die-casting and offer superior corrosion resistance. Also able to withstand extreme heat or cold better than zinc, the "ST" series is well suited for rugged conditions, meeting all military standards for "ST" Connectors.

The MIM process produces components to the customer's specification at a lower total cost. Metal Injection Molded components require virtually no additional machining, and several components can be molded together as one unit. Also, molds can be created that contain multiple cavities to reduce tooling costs.
