DELOCK Panel Mount SC Simplex Adapter, SC Simplex Bu to Bu, silver/lime green/white

DELOCK Panel Mount SC Simplex Adapter provides a compact panel-mounted coupling for SC simplex fiber optic connections. Housed in a silver metal frame with lime green and white colour coding, it offers SC simplex male-to-female coupling in blue (Bu) style suitable for secure installation in network and telecommunications panels. The adapter supports single-fibre SC simplex links and is intended for straightforward connection or extension of SC-terminated fibres within rack or wall-mounted enclosures.

Advantages

The adapter is built for panel-mounted use, delivering a stable mechanical interface and alignment for SC simplex connectors while minimising insertion loss. Its metallic silver housing offers mechanical protection and durability, and the lime green/white colour coding aids fast identification of fibre type and polarity. The SC simplex Bu-to-Bu coupling maintains a standard form factor that integrates with common patch panels and faceplates.

Suitable for

• Connecting or extending single-fibre SC simplex links in rack-mounted patch panels
• Telecommunication distribution points and network equipment enclosures
• Fiber optic faceplates and wall-mounted panels requiring SC simplex couplers
• Environments where clear colour coding for fibre identification is required

When it may not be suitable

This SC simplex panel adapter is designed for single-fibre SC simplex connections and is not suitable where duplex or multimode duplex couplings are required. It does not include optical attenuation, conversion, or active components and therefore cannot replace transceivers, media converters or connectors intended for multimode to singlemode conversion.

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC simplex coupling (female-to-female interface for SC simplex)
• Style: Blue (Bu) alignment sleeves suitable for standard SC ferrules
• Mounting: Panel mount form factor for installation into panels or faceplates
• Housing material: Metal housing in silver finish for mechanical protection
• Colour coding: Lime green and white for fibre identification
• Application: Single-fibre (simplex) optical connections in telecom and network racks

How to use

Install the adapter into a compatible panel cutout or faceplate using the indicated mounting method for your panel system. Ensure the adapter is secured and aligned, then insert SC simplex connectors into each side of the coupling until they click or seat fully. Verify that the mating connectors match the intended fibre type and polarity indicated by the colour coding. For removal, depress any retention mechanism on the panel and gently withdraw the SC connectors to avoid damaging ferrules.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your panel or faceplate has the appropriate cutout dimensions for a panel-mount SC simplex adapter
• Ensure compatibility of connector type and fibre mode (singlemode vs multimode) with your cabling
• Check that blue (Bu) SC simplex alignment and lime green/white colour coding match your network identification scheme
• Decide whether a simplex adapter meets your needs or if duplex, angled, or specialized couplers are required

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or body, avoid touching ferrule end faces, and use dust caps when ports are not in use. When installing into high-density panels, verify connector access and clearance to maintain reliable connections and allow for routine inspection and cleaning of ferrules to preserve optical performance.
