Fibre Optic Connector LC/LC Socket/Socket ShiverPeaks BS07-60004

The ShiverPeaks BS07-60004 LC/LC Female/Female fibre optic connector is a bulkhead-style adapter designed to provide a stable, low-loss connection between two LC-terminated optical fibres. Built for use in patch panels, fibre distribution frames and equipment enclosures, this adapter helps maintain optical alignment and signal integrity in data centre and telecommunication installations. The product is compatible with standard LC duplex connectors and supports single-mode and multimode networks depending on the connected fibre types.

Advantages

This LC/LC female-to-female adapter provides precise alignment of ferrules to minimise insertion loss and back reflection. Its bulkhead configuration enables secure panel mounting and easy accessibility from both sides of the enclosure. The adapter is made to industry-standard dimensions to ensure compatibility with common LC connectors, simplifying installation and maintenance. Designed for reliability, it supports repeated mating cycles while maintaining consistent optical performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting LC-terminated patch cords through panels and bulkheads
• Fibre patch panels and distribution frames in data centres
• Telecommunication racks and equipment enclosures
• Laboratory test setups and field splicing enclosures

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC (female/female bulkhead adapter)
• Mounting style: bulkhead/panel-mount
• Polish/style: compatible with standard LC ferrule polish types (PC/APC dependent on mating connectors)
• Fibre compatibility: supports single-mode and multimode fibres as determined by connected cables
• Material: precision-moulded housing with ceramic alignment sleeve (typical for LC adapters)
• Durability: engineered for multiple mating cycles to preserve alignment and low loss

How to use

Install the adapter into the designated cutout in a patch panel or bulkhead by aligning it with the panel aperture and securing it according to the enclosure's mounting method. Insert LC-terminated patch cords into each side of the adapter until a positive click is felt, ensuring the connectors are fully seated. Verify optical continuity and acceptable loss using appropriate test equipment. For multimode or single-mode links, use matching fibre types and connector polishes to achieve the expected performance.

Recommendations

Handle LC connectors and the adapter with care to avoid contamination of ferrule endfaces; use dust caps when ports are not in use and clean endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating. Match connector polish types (PC or APC) and fibre modes to prevent excess back reflection or insertion loss. Periodically inspect mounted adapters for secure fit and wear, and follow standard fibre handling and ESD precautions during installation and maintenance.
