SHIVERPEAKS BASIC-S SC-SC Duplex Singlemode Fiber Optic Coupler, Blue BS07-60060

Networks that run on singlemode fiber demand every connection to be rock-solid. The SHIVERPEAKS BASIC-S SC-SC duplex coupler (BS07-60060) is built around a precision ceramic sleeve that keeps two fibers perfectly aligned, so your signal stays strong from end to end. With insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB and return loss of ≥50 dB (UPC), it preserves your optical power budget and minimises reflections that can disrupt sensitive transceivers.

Why it belongs in your toolkit

• Duplex design handles two singlemode fibers at once, saving valuable panel space.
• Flange mount lets you secure it in patch panels, wall plates or enclosures with ease.
• Ceramic sleeve ensures precise ferrule alignment and long-term stability, even after repeated reconnections.
• Rated for over 1000 mating cycles, so you can reconfigure without worry.
• Blue plastic housing makes it instantly recognisable in high-density patching environments.
• Works reliably from -20°C to +70°C, suiting a wide range of installation sites.
• Compliant with RoHS and REACH standards.

Who it's for

This coupler is ideal for network installers, data centre technicians, and anyone working with FTTH, LAN, or telecommunications infrastructure. If you need a dependable, low-loss connection point for singlemode fiber, the BS07-60060 is a smart choice.

How to use

Simply snap the coupler into a standard panel cutout using the flange mount, then plug your SC connectors into both sides. The duplex design means you can connect two fibers simultaneously, streamlining your patching. For best results, keep connectors clean and avoid excessive force during mating.

Tips: Always inspect and clean fiber connectors before mating to prevent scratches and signal loss. Use a fiber optic cleaning kit for best results. When mounting, ensure the panel cutout matches the flange dimensions for a secure fit. Store spare couplers in a dust-free environment to maintain performance.
