toslink to ST adapter

anyone know where i can find a toslink to ST adapter.

I basically need to plug a Male ST into a female toslink.

I dont think that hybrid exists. The largest ST fiber would be 62.5 micrometers fiber. Toslink fiber is 1000 micrometers.

"A TOSLINK fiber optic cable has two similar connectors on each end. The fiber optic material is typically located within a jacket to protect the fiber optic material between the two connectors. The TOSLINK fiber is plastic normally and is either multi mode or gradient index. The size of the fiber is 1,000 micrometers core size. The cladding, which is also plastic with the TOSLINK fiber, has an outer diameter of 1,100 micrometers"

Toslink is a proprietary mating system==the core size mismatch would choke the light in the plastic fiber.
