Figure 7 shows an ST connector.

Figure 7: ST Connector

This connector uses a spring loaded twist and lock coupling similar to
conventional BNC connectors that are used with coaxial cabling.

Note that, since the ST connector is keyed, you should gently rotate the
connector to ensure proper mating of the ST plug receptacle. Be careful not to
force the connector mating or you might damage the hub’s connector.

Subscriber Channel (SC) Connectors

Subscriber Channel connectors mate through a square push-pull interface.

SC connectors represent, for many individuals, an improvement over ST
connectors in that they have a lock proof mechanism.
