Fibre Optic Connector SC/SC Female/Female ShiverPeaks BS07-60061

The ShiverPeaks BS07-60061 SC/SC Female/Female fibre optic connector is designed for bulkhead mounting to provide a stable interface between optical cables and devices. It enables straightforward coupling of two SC-terminated fibre cables through a panel or enclosure, supporting reliable optical signal transmission in telecommunications and data network assemblies.

Advantages

This SC/SC female-to-female bulkhead connector offers consistent alignment and repeatable mating performance due to its SC interface geometry and precision ferrule alignment. Its bulkhead form factor secures the connection on panels or distribution boxes, reducing stress on cable terminations and improving system maintainability. The connector is compatible with standard SC plugs and supports straightforward installation and replacement when network reconfiguration or repair is required.

Suitable for

• Panel and enclosure bulkhead connections in communication racks
• Joining two SC-terminated fibre patch cords through a wall or panel
• Telecommunications and data centre optical distribution frames
• Field enclosures and splice cabinets requiring a fixed SC interface

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC female to SC female (bulkhead)
• Mounting: Panel / bulkhead mounting for enclosures and distribution panels
• Fibre compatibility: Designed for use with standard single-mode or multimode SC-terminated patch cords (verify fibre type before use)
• Housing: Metal or plastic bulkhead housing to provide mechanical support (material varies by production batch)
• Alignment: Precision ferrule alignment for low insertion loss and repeatable mating

How to use

Install the connector by fitting it into the panel cutout or designated bulkhead opening and secure it with the appropriate mounting hardware. Insert SC-terminated patch cords into each female port until they click into place, ensuring proper endface contact. Verify optical continuity and signal level after mating using an optical power meter or visual fault locator as part of standard commissioning and maintenance procedures.

Recommendations

Before connecting, confirm that the fibre type of installed patch cords matches the system design (single-mode or multimode) and inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness. Use appropriate cleaning tools and dust caps when the connector is not in use. During installation, avoid excessive bending or strain on connected cables and follow rack or enclosure grounding and cable management best practices.
