Glasvezel connector LC/LC bus/bus ShiverPeaks BS08-10201

The ShiverPeaks BS08-10201 Fibre Optic Connector LC/LC Female/Female is a bulkhead-mounted adapter designed to join two LC-terminated fibre optic cables. It supports precise alignment of ferrules to maintain low insertion loss and reliable signal transmission in fibre networks. The adapter is suitable for use in patch panels, enclosures and equipment panels where a compact LC duplex interface is required.

Advantages

This LC/LC female-to-female bulkhead connector provides stable mechanical coupling and accurate ferrule alignment to minimise optical loss and back reflection. Its compact form factor conserves panel space and enables high-density installations. The adapter is built for repeatable connections and straightforward installation into standard cutouts, offering consistent performance across multiple mating cycles.

Suitable for

• Joining two LC-terminated single-mode or multimode fibre cables in a panel or enclosure
• Use in patch panels, distribution frames and equipment racks
• Environments requiring compact duplex LC interfaces for high-density cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC, female to female
• Mounting style: bulkhead / panel adapter
• Polish/finish compatibility: designed for standard ceramic ferrules and compatible with UPC/APC terminations as applicable
• Number of ports: duplex (two optical channels)
• Form factor: compact LC duplex footprint for high-density installations

How to use

Install the adapter into a compatible panel cutout or bulkhead aperture until it secures into place. Align LC-terminated patch cords with the adapter ports and insert each connector until it latches. Verify that connections are fully seated to ensure low insertion loss. When removing cables, depress the LC connector latch and gently withdraw the cable to avoid damaging the ferrule or adapter. Follow standard fibre handling procedures to keep endfaces clean and protected.

Recommendations

Use appropriate fibre cleaning tools and inspect endfaces before mating to maintain optimal signal quality. Avoid excessive lateral force on connected cables and secure cable runs to reduce stress on the bulkhead adapter. Select matching polish types (UPC or APC) on both sides to prevent increased return loss.
