Vendors of fiber optic cabling and fiber optic transceivers often
provide the option of using SMA or ST connectors.  In selecting a
standard for a site where no standard is yet established, why should
one choose ST over SMA or vice versa.  The application, in this case,
would be a large campus Ethernet data distribution system that would
later be upgraded for FDDI.
