  • What is the interface of a bare fiber optic adapter

    What is the interface of a bare fiber optic adapter

    A fiber-optic adapter — sometimes called a coupler or bulkhead coupler — is a passive mechanical interface that mates and aligns two terminated optical fibers (i., two fiber connectors) such that light can reliably pass from one to the other with minimal insertion loss and maximum. A bare fiber optic adapter serves as an intermediary for connecting raw optical fibers to fiber optic equipment. Bare fiber optic adapters are primarily used to test bare fiber patch.

  • What can be connected to the ST-4 interface

    What can be connected to the ST-4 interface

    ST-4 is an interface you will come across using astronomy equipment with some form of computer control. It might be as an ST-4 socket on a mount, a socket on the back of an astronomy camera, or an interface on some other form of guiding device such as an AstroHutech Hinode Solar Guider. If you are using one of ST's official Nucleo or Discovery boards, you do not have to connect an external debugger. With ST-4 you have to calibrate near your target. The ST-4 Port is present on some computerized mounts and it is easy to add one to motorized mounts like the EQ3 / EQ4 / EQ5. It supports the SWIM and JTAG/SWD interfaces for communication with any STM8 or STM32 microcontroller.
