Fibre Optic Connector LC/LC Female/Female ShiverPeaks BS08-10204

The ShiverPeaks BS08-10204 LC/LC Female/Female fibre optic connector is a compact bulkhead connector designed for inline panel and enclosure mounting. It provides a standardized LC duplex interface on both sides, enabling straightforward mating of LC-terminated fibre cables through a panel or patch panel opening. The connector is intended for single-mode or multimode fibre systems depending on the fibre cables used and is supplied as a single unit for integration into networking or telecommunications equipment.

Advantages

This LC/LC female/female bulkhead connector offers a space-saving duplex LC interface that simplifies cable routing in dense installations. The design supports stable optical alignment for consistent signal transmission and reduces the need for on-site termination by allowing easy mating of pre-terminated LC patch cords. Its bulkhead format secures the connection at a panel or enclosure, helping maintain cable strain relief and orderly rack or cabinet layouts.

Suitable for

• Panel and rack-mounted fibre patch panels
• Enclosure and bulkhead installations in telecom rooms
• Connecting pre-terminated LC duplex patch cords
• Structured cabling in data centres and LAN environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC duplex female to LC duplex female (bulkhead)
• Mounting style: bulkhead / panel insert
• Fibre compatibility: suitable for single-mode or multimode depending on cable
• Polish/type: compatible with standard LC ferrule terminations
• Pack quantity: 1 connector per unit

How to use

Install the connector into the designated panel or enclosure opening and secure it according to the panel’s mounting practice. Once mounted, insert LC-terminated patch cords into each LC adapter side until they click into place. Verify optical continuity and cleanliness of the ferrule end faces before finalizing the connection to ensure optimal signal performance. Use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not mated to protect end faces.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean ferrule end faces with approved fibre cleaning tools before every connection. Use suitable strain relief and cable management to avoid excessive bending or tension near the bulkhead connector. Select single-mode or multimode patch cords that match the installed fibre type and network requirements.
