Fibre Optic Connector SC/SC Female/Female ShiverPeaks BS08-10213

The ShiverPeaks BS08-10213 SC/SC Female/Female fibre optic connector is designed for bulkhead installations to provide stable optical connections between SC-terminated patch cords or devices. Its female-to-female configuration allows quick mating of SC connectors through panels or adaptors, maintaining signal integrity in fibre optic links used in telecommunications and data transmission environments.

Advantages

This SC/SC female/female connector offers consistent alignment and low insertion loss, supporting efficient light transmission across single-mode or multi-mode networks when used with compatible fibres. The bulkhead form factor simplifies panel mounting and organised cabling, while precision ferrule alignment reduces back reflection and ensures repeatable performance during connector mating and unmating cycles.

Suitable for

• Panel and rack bulkhead fibre optic terminations
• Interconnecting SC-terminated patch cords in data centres
• Telecommunications and network distribution frames
• Laboratory testing setups requiring stable mechanical connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: Female-to-female SC/SC bulkhead adapter
• Mounting: Panel/bulkhead mount compatible with standard cutouts
• Interface: SC simplex duplex physical interface for quick push-pull mating
• Optical compatibility: Suitable for single-mode and multi-mode fibre when used with matching connectors and fibre types
• Performance characteristics: Precision ferrule alignment for low insertion loss and reduced back reflection
• Durability: Designed for multiple mating cycles and stable mechanical retention in bulkhead applications

How to use

Install the connector into the designated bulkhead cutout or panel opening and secure it according to the panel hardware specifications. Once mounted, insert SC-terminated patch cords into each side until the connectors click into place, ensuring proper alignment and a firm mechanical connection. When removing, depress the release latch on the SC connector and withdraw straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule endfaces. Clean connector endfaces before mating to maintain optimal optical performance.

Recommendations

Use compatible SC-terminated fibre patch cords and follow standard fibre handling procedures: keep endfaces clean, avoid sharp bends in cabling, and verify optical loss with appropriate test equipment after installation. Select single-mode or multi-mode patch cords that match the network design to ensure expected transmission characteristics.
