Fibre Optic Connector LC/LC ShiverPeaks BS08-10202 Female/Female

The ShiverPeaks BS08-10202 LC/LC female/female fibre optic connector is a bulkhead-style coupling engineered for interconnecting LC-terminated single‑mode or multimode patch cords within racks, panels and enclosures. Offered as an individual unit, this female-to-female adapter provides a compact interface for aligning LC ferrules and maintaining low insertion loss in fibre optic links used in data centres and telecommunication installations.

Advantages

This bulkhead LC/LC female/female connector ensures precise ferrule alignment and consistent optical performance. Its compact profile saves space in patch panels and enclosures while the sturdy construction provides stable mechanical coupling and reliable repeatability through multiple matings. The design supports standard LC interfaces for broad compatibility with common patch cords and modules.

Suitable for

• Joining two LC-terminated fibre patch cords across a panel or chassis
• Use in data centre patch panels, wall outlets and rack-mounted enclosures
• Telecommunications backbone and horizontal cabling connections
• Temporary or permanent splicing points where a female/female coupler is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC female to LC female bulkhead adapter
• Form factor: duplex/compact LC-compatible coupling
• Typical application: fibre optic patching and panel-to-panel coupling
• Material and finish: durable polymer and metal-reinforced components for stability
• Compatibility: standard LC ferrule interfaces for single‑mode and multimode patch cords
• Mating cycles: engineered for multiple mating operations with stable performance

How to use

Install the bulkhead adapter into a compatible cut-out on a patch panel or chassis, ensuring the adapter snaps or secures into the panel according to the enclosure design. Insert LC-terminated patch cords into each side of the female/female coupler until the connectors click into place. Verify physical fit and light path continuity; use an optical power meter or visual fault locator if required to confirm acceptable insertion loss and signal transmission.

Recommendations

To maintain optical performance, keep ferrule endfaces clean and protected when not in use. Use appropriate dust caps and a lint-free cleaning method before mating. Avoid excessive bending of connected fibres near the adapter and follow standard handling practices to minimise contamination and mechanical stress.
