Cable Gender Changer VALUE 21.99.0670 SC Blue

The VALUE 21.99.0670 SC Blue cable gender changer is a compact inline adapter fitted with SC connectors on both ends. Designed to convert connector gender without modifying cabling runs, this adapter supports a direct, low-profile connection between SC-terminated fiber optic cables or patch cords. The blue housing provides clear visual identification in patch panels or cable bundles and helps maintain organized infrastructure in data centers, telecom closets, and office networks.

Advantages

This SC-to-SC gender changer offers a simple and space-saving method to reverse connector gender while preserving existing fiber connections. Its standardized SC interface provides reliable mating performance with common SC-type connectors, and the rigid housing ensures stable alignment of the ferrules. The compact form factor minimizes footprint in dense patching areas and the colored body improves visual management and reduces connection errors.

Suitable for

• Reversing connector gender between SC-terminated fiber patch cords
• Temporary or permanent inline connections in data centers and server rooms
• Organizing and identifying fiber connections in telecom racks and network cabinets
• Field installations and maintenance where quick connector adaptation is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC on both ends
• Form factor: inline gender changer / adapter
• Housing color: blue for easy identification
• Compatibility: designed for standard SC-terminated singlemode or multimode fiber connectors (subject to matching fiber type)
• Physical size: compact, low-profile design suitable for dense patching environments

How to use

To use the SC gender changer, align each SC connector with the adapter port and push until the latch engages, ensuring a secure mechanical connection. Verify that the fiber types and polish styles of the mating connectors are compatible to avoid increased insertion loss. For disconnection, depress the SC latch and gently pull the connector straight out to prevent damage to the ferrule or fiber.

Usage recommendations

Handle the adapter and connected fiber cables with care: avoid excessive bending near the connector interface, keep dust caps in place when unused, and clean connector endfaces before mating. Use the adapter in environments that match the fiber type (singlemode or multimode) to maintain signal integrity and minimize loss.
