Fiber Optic Keystone Connector ShiverPeaks LC-LC Duplex beige — model 08-10204

ShiverPeaks LC-LC Duplex keystone fiber optic connector (beige) model 08-10204 is a compact insert designed for panel and wallplate installations. It provides two LC terminations in a duplex arrangement to support multimode and singlemode links. The keystone format allows straightforward snap-in mounting in compatible wall outlets, faceplates and patch panels, creating a neat, space-saving fiber connection point for structured cabling, data centre and telecom environments.

Advantages

The keystone form factor simplifies installation into standard faceplates and patch panels without additional adapters. Duplex LC terminations offer a compact footprint while keeping Tx/Rx channels clearly paired. The beige housing identifies standard multimode usage and helps maintain consistent cabling colour coding. The connector provides reliable physical alignment for LC ferrules and is suitable for high-density deployments where space and cable management are important.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and commercial buildings
• Patch panels and rack-mounted distribution frames
• Wallplate outlets for campus and enterprise networks
• Data centre and telecom links requiring LC duplex terminations
• Multimode and singlemode fiber patching where keystone inserts are supported

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC duplex keystone insert
• Number of ports: 2 (duplex)
• Colour: beige (standard multimode coding)
• Mounting style: keystone snap-in for faceplates and panels
• Compatible media: multimode and singlemode fiber systems
• Ferrule alignment: LC-style ferrule interface
• Application: panel or wallplate fiber termination for patching

How to use

Prepare the fiber patch cords or pigtails according to the chosen fiber type and clean ferrule endfaces before mating. Insert the keystone connector into a compatible wallplate or patch panel cutout until it snaps securely in place. Align and mate LC duplex patch cords with the LC ports, ensuring correct Tx/Rx orientation. Secure any cable management accessories and label the port as required for easy identification. For removal, depress the keystone latch and pull the insert straight out of the opening to avoid damaging the housing or nearby connectors.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean LC endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools prior to connection to maintain low insertion loss. Use dust caps when ports are unused, follow standard EIA/TIA cabling practices for bend radius and strain relief, and match connector colour coding to the fiber type in your installation plan.
