Telhua Engineer's Tip
For optimal performance in high-vibration environments, apply a quarter-turn clockwise rotation after full ST connector insertion. This engages the bayonet lock's secondary retention mechanism, providing 30% greater resistance to accidental disconnection while maintaining proper ferrule alignment. This technique is particularly valuable in industrial settings and mobile deployment scenarios where mechanical stability is paramount.
