S/CONN fibre optic adapter LC 07-60020 Blue Single-mode

The S/CONN fibre optic adapter LC 07-60020 Blue Single-mode by ShiverPeaks is a single-mode LC coupler designed to provide stable optical connections in fibre networks. Its blue housing identifies it as a single-mode interface and it is intended for precise alignment of LC ferrules to minimise insertion loss and back reflection. The adapter suits patch panels, distribution frames and point-to-point fibre links where consistent performance is required.

Advantages

This single-mode LC adapter offers reliable ferrule alignment and low insertion loss suitable for high-speed and long-distance transmission. The compact LC form factor enables high-density mounting in racks and panels while maintaining mechanical stability. The durable housing and precision ceramic sleeve ensure repeatable connections and resistance to wear during multiple mating cycles.

Suitable for

• Splicing and patching in single-mode fibre optic networks
• Use in patch panels, wall plates and fibre distribution frames
• Telecommunications links and data centre interconnects
• FTTx installations and point-to-point optical links

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC single-mode interface
• Polish type: typically UPC (physical UPC-style end face)
• Color: blue (single-mode identification)
• Alignment sleeve: precision ceramic sleeve for ferrule alignment
• Mounting: snap-in or panel mount compatible with LC adapters
• Durability: designed for multiple mating cycles with stable performance
• Application range: single-mode optical communication and data transmission

How to use

Insert the adapter into the designated slot on a patch panel or faceplate, ensuring it snaps or secures into place according to the panel design. Align the LC connector ferrule of the patch cable with the adapter port and push until a positive connection is felt. For removal, depress the connector latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid bending the ferrule or cable. Verify optical link quality with appropriate test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Handle fibre connectors and adapters in a clean environment, keep protective caps on unused ports to prevent contamination, and perform regular cleaning of end faces with approved fibre cleaning tools to maintain low insertion loss and return loss.
