Conector de fibra óptica SC/SC hembra/hembra ShiverPeaks BS08-10210

The ShiverPeaks BS08-10210 SC/SC Female/Female fibre optic connector is a bulkhead-style adapter that joins two SC-terminated optical cables through a panel or chassis. It aligns SC ferrules in a compact metal housing to provide low-loss, stable optical coupling for singlemode or multimode links where SC interfaces are used. The design is intended for rack, wall plate or enclosure mounting and supports standard SC simplex connections with push-pull engagement.

Advantages

This bulkhead adapter provides precise ferrule alignment and consistent insertion loss performance, enabling repeatable connections in patch panels and equipment panels. The female-to-female configuration allows easy mating of existing SC patch cables without modifying cable ends. Constructed with a robust housing and ceramic alignment sleeve, the adapter offers mechanical stability and resistance to wear in high-use environments.

Suitable for

• Joining two SC-terminated optical patch cords across a bulkhead or panel
• Use in telecommunications racks, data centre panels, and network enclosures
• Field or lab setups requiring quick, repeatable SC connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC female to SC female (bulkhead adapter)
• Mounting: panel/chassis bulkhead mounting
• Alignment sleeve material: ceramic for precise ferrule alignment
• Compatibility: standard SC simplex interfaces for singlemode and multimode fibres
• Housing: metal construction for mechanical durability

How to use

Install the adapter into the panel or chassis cutout and secure it according to the enclosure’s mounting method. Insert SC-terminated patch cords into each side of the adapter until the push-pull latch engages. Verify connection quality using an optical power meter or visual fault locator as needed. To disconnect, depress the SC connector latch and withdraw the cable straight out to avoid stress on the ferrule alignment sleeve.

Recommendations

Keep protective dust caps on unused ports to prevent contamination. Clean fibre endfaces before mating using appropriate fibre-optic cleaning tools and procedures. Avoid excessive bending or pulling of cables near the adapter and perform periodic inspection to maintain low insertion loss and long-term reliability.
