The TE Connectivity 5504614-1 is a simplex SC-to-SC multimode coupler — a panel-mount adapter that joins two SC-terminated multimode fibers in a straight-through connection. It is the in-line junction for a patch panel or bulkhead, not a connector that terminates a cable. The beige housing signals multimode duty (the standard colour code for multimode SC hardware), and the metal ferrule keeps the alignment sleeve stable through repeated matings.
Mounting and installation
Mounts into a panel cutout via the flange and snap-in clips — no screws or nuts needed. The snap-in retention holds the coupler in place against the insertion and extraction force of an SC connector. The simplex format means one fiber channel per opening; if you need two fibers in the same cutout, you stack two of these side by side or use a duplex coupler.
Compatibility and real-world fit
Mates with any standard SC connector — male plug terminated on multimode patch cord or pigtail. The SC interface is keyed so the connector inserts only one way.
