Fibre Optic Connector LC/LC Female/Female ShiverPeaks BS08-10200

The ShiverPeaks BS08-10200 LC/LC Female/Female fibre optic connector is designed for bulkhead mounting to provide stable optical links in telecommunication and data network installations. It offers a standardized LC interface on both ends, enabling easy mating with LC-terminated fibre cables and patch panels. The connector is intended for environments where space-efficient, high-density connections are required and where secure, low-loss signal transmission is important.

Advantages

This LC/LC female-to-female bulkhead connector provides consistent alignment and low insertion loss through precision ceramic sleeves. Its compact LC form factor allows high-density port arrangements in racks and wall plates. The bulkhead design secures the mating interface for reliable mechanical stability and simplified cable management. Materials and finish are chosen to resist wear from repeated mating cycles while maintaining optical performance.

Suitable for

• Fibre patch panels and distribution frames requiring LC duplex connections
• Wall plates and bulkhead panels in telecom or data centre installations
• Interconnecting LC-terminated simplex or duplex patch cords
• Environments where space-saving, high-density fibre connections are needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC, female to female, bulkhead mount
• Adaptation: Duplex LC interfaces compatible with standard LC ferrules
• Insertion loss: low-loss alignment via precision sleeves (typical values depend on mating connectors and cabling)
• Return loss: suitable for singlemode and multimode systems when paired with appropriate fibre types
• Mechanical: designed for panel/bulkhead mounting with secure retention and repeated mating durability
• Form factor: compact LC size for high-density deployments

How to use

Install the connector into a compatible bulkhead cutout or panel opening until retention features engage. Mate LC-terminated patch cords by aligning and inserting each LC plug into the corresponding female interface until an audible or tactile click confirms secure connection. Ensure cleanliness of fibre endfaces before mating by inspecting and, if necessary, cleaning with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to minimize insertion loss and prevent contamination-related damage.

Recommendations

Handle fibre connectors by the housing, avoid touching ferrule endfaces, and follow standard fibre optic installation practices: inspect and clean connectors before each connection, avoid excessive bending of cables near the connector, and store unused ports with dust caps to maintain optical performance.
