Fibre Optic Connector SC/SC Socket/Socket ShiverPeaks BS07-60050

The ShiverPeaks BS07-60050 SC/SC Female/Female fibre optic connector is designed for bulkhead mounting to provide a stable, low-loss link between two SC-terminated fibre assemblies. Intended for use where fixed panel or enclosure connections are required, this single connector offers a compact solution for establishing reliable optical paths in networking and telecommunications equipment. The connector is compatible with standard SC interfaces and supports high-speed data transmission typical for modern fibre networks.

Advantages

This SC/SC female-to-female bulkhead connector provides a consistent mechanical alignment that reduces insertion loss and back reflection compared with improvised or ad-hoc coupling methods. Its bulkhead format is suitable for secure panel installation, saving space while keeping port accessibility straightforward. Supplied as a single unit per pack, it simplifies inventory and replacement for installations that require one-to-one mating of SC connectors.

Suitable for

• Connecting two SC-terminated fibre patch cords through panels or wall plates
• Telecommunications and data centre fibre patch panels
• Networking cabinets, enclosures, and equipment racks requiring bulkhead couplers
• Field repairs or on-site replacement of damaged bulkhead links

Key specifications

• Interface: SC female on both ends (bulkhead coupling)
• Mounting type: Bulkhead/panel mount
• Cable compatibility: Standard single-mode or multimode SC-terminated patch cords (subject to network design)
• Construction: Durable housing suitable for rack or panel installation
• Pack contents: One bulkhead SC/SC female-to-female connector

How to use

Install the connector into the panel or enclosure cutout designed for SC bulkheads, securing it with the appropriate mounting hardware or snap-in feature as provided by the panel. Insert SC-terminated patch cords into each side of the connector until they click or seat firmly. Verify proper engagement and optical continuity with suitable test equipment if precise loss and return loss metrics are required. For removal, depress the connector retention mechanism if present and withdraw the patch cords before extracting the bulkhead unit from the panel.

Recommendations

Keep protective caps on unused connector ports to prevent contamination. Clean fibre endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating to maintain low insertion loss. Match the connector type to the network’s fibre type (single-mode or multimode) and inspection procedures to ensure reliable performance.
