Fiber Optic Connector ShiverPeaks 07-60042 LC-LC Quad Aqua

The ShiverPeaks 07-60042 LC-LC Quad Aqua is a compact fiber optic connector designed to provide four LC channels within a single quad footprint. Finished in aqua to indicate multimode fiber compatibility, this connector supports standard LC interfaces and is intended for use in high-density fiber installations, patch panels and trunk assemblies where space efficiency and multiple parallel connections are required.

Advantages

This quad LC connector consolidates four LC ports into one compact unit, reducing panel space and simplifying cable management. The aqua color provides clear visual identification for multimode deployments. It maintains standard LC interface dimensions for compatibility with existing adapters and equipment and is suitable for use in pre-terminated trunk cables and high-density patching environments.

Suitable for

• High-density patch panels in data centers and telecommunications rooms
• Pre-terminated fiber trunks and MPO/parallel infrastructure conversions
• Multimode fiber links in enterprise networks and campus backbones
• Fiber consolidation and space-saving installations where multiple LC channels are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC quad (four LC channels in a single connector footprint)
• Fiber type indicator: aqua (multimode)
• Interface compatibility: standard LC ferrule geometry and mating dimensions
• Application: single connector with four independent full LC connections for patching and trunking

How to use

Insert the quad LC connector into a compatible quad LC adapter or panel cutout, making sure each LC ferrule aligns with the adapter ports. Use standard LC patch cords or pre-terminated trunks that match the multimode fiber type. When connecting or disconnecting, handle the connector by its housing to avoid touching ferrules and protect exposed ends with dust caps when not in use. Follow site-specific trunk labeling and polarity practices to ensure correct channel mapping.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the connector with multimode fiber rated for the intended wavelength and follow routine inspection and cleaning procedures for LC ferrules. Ensure compatibility with existing adapters and panels before installation and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the cable assembly to maintain alignment and optical performance.
