SC Duplex Adapter for Panel Mount
The Hirose HSCH-2A1-D(P)(05) is a duplex SC-to-SC fiber optic coupler from the HSC series, designed to align and mate two SC-terminated patch cables in a panel-mount installation. It accepts a SC receptacle on both ends, converting one SC connector to another — a straight-through adapter for duplex fiber pairs. The ferrule material is Zirconia, a ceramic that provides stable alignment and low insertion loss over repeated matings. A dust cap is included to protect the ferrule end-faces when the adapter is unmated.
Last Buy — Sourcing Window Closing
Hirose has classified the HSCH-2A1-D(P)(05) as Last Buy. This means the part is in its final production run and will not be manufactured after the allocated inventory is depleted. For any BOM line that depends on this coupler, the procurement decision is time-sensitive — once the last-buy window closes, the only channel will be surplus or broker stock. No official direct replacement has been announced by Hirose for this order code.
This coupler accepts a standard SC connector on either end — the same SC interface used across the Hirose HSC series and the broader industry. The duplex configuration means it aligns two fibers side by side, matching the 2-fiber SC duplex patch cable format common in Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel links. The snap-in panel mount requires a rectangular cutout; no additional hardware is needed to secure it in the panel.
