The Aqua OM3 SC Simplex Multimode Adaptor provides accurate alignment between compatible SC connectors within OM3 Multimode fibre networks.
A phosphor bronze alignment sleeve maintains ferrule positioning for stable and repeatable optical connections. Unlike a duplex adaptor, the simplex configuration accommodates one SC fibre connection within each housing.
Its aqua colour provides clear visual identification for OM3 Multimode connectivity inside fibre patch panels, enclosures and distribution equipment.
Supplied by fibreSales in convenient packs of 12, these adaptors suit data networks, enterprise infrastructure, equipment rooms, fibre backbones and general OM3 installations.
An OM3 SC Simplex Adaptor provides the physical interface required to connect compatible SC fibre optic connectors.
Inside the housing, a precision phosphor bronze sleeve aligns the mating connector ferrules. Accurate positioning therefore helps maintain a consistent optical pathway between the connected fibres.
Simplex construction provides one SC fibre connection per adaptor housing, making this configuration suitable wherever individual SC ports are required.
OM3 is a laser-optimised Multimode fibre category widely used in higher-speed, short-reach optical networks.
Compatible OM3 connectivity can be found throughout:
Actual transmission speed and distance depend on the complete optical system, including the Ethernet standard, transceivers, wavelength and total channel loss.
Choose the Aqua OM3 SC Simplex Adaptor when your installation uses compatible OM3 Multimode SC connectivity and requires one fibre connection per adaptor housing.
Where two associated SC connections need to remain together, an SC Duplex Adaptor may provide a more convenient configuration.
Clear identification helps technicians manage different fibre systems within patch panels and equipment racks.
The aqua housing provides familiar visual identification for OM3 Multimode connectivity. Consequently, installers can distinguish these adaptors more readily from beige OM1, violet OM4 and Singlemode components.
Colour alone should not determine compatibility, however. Always verify the installed fibre type and connector requirements before selecting an adaptor.
Accurate ferrule positioning helps maintain reliable optical connectivity between mating fibre connectors.
For this purpose, the OM3 SC Simplex Adaptor uses a phosphor bronze alignment sleeve.
Key characteristics include:
Proper fibre inspection and cleaning remain equally important when establishing a reliable connection.
Supplied specifications state a typical insertion loss of ≤0.2 dB.
Every connection contributes to the total optical loss budget. Therefore, designers and installers should consider adaptors alongside patch leads, connectors, pigtails, splices and equipment interfaces.
Keeping individual connection losses low helps preserve the available optical power across the complete fibre channel.
SC connectors use a straightforward push-pull interface widely found throughout fibre optic infrastructure.
A simplex adaptor provides one SC connection within one housing. This arrangement works particularly well when individual fibre ports need to be installed or managed separately.
Typical installation locations include:
For fibre termination and distribution projects, explore fibreSales Fibre Optic Enclosures.
Optical connectors require accurate mechanical positioning when two fibres meet.
Once compatible SC connectors enter opposite sides of the adaptor, the phosphor bronze sleeve maintains their ferrule alignment. In turn, this precise positioning helps minimise unnecessary connection loss.
Although the adaptor is a passive component, its mechanical accuracy remains important to consistent fibre connectivity.
Fibre networks may require connections to be changed during maintenance, equipment replacement or network upgrades.
Excellent repeatability helps maintain consistent alignment after compatible connectors are reinserted. Meanwhile, good interchangeability supports straightforward integration throughout compatible SC Multimode infrastructure.
Technicians should always inspect and clean connector end faces as required before remating them.

Where an installation specifies a particular standard, revision or project requirement, confirm the exact compliance requirements before installation.
Aqua OM3 SC Simplex Multimode Adaptors can support fibre connectivity across:
Final suitability depends on the complete optical system and connector requirements.
SC Simplex Adaptors can provide individual connection points within fibre patch panels and distribution enclosures.
One side can connect to the terminated fibre inside the enclosure, while the opposite interface accepts the corresponding patch lead. As a result, technicians gain an accessible patching point without disturbing the fixed cabling.
Simplex construction also allows individual SC ports to be managed separately.
Each pack contains 12 OM3 SC Simplex Adaptors.
This quantity provides a practical option for:
Keeping spare adaptors available can also reduce delays when damaged components need replacement.
Selecting the correct configuration depends on how the fibre connections need to be organised.
| Feature | SC Simplex | SC Duplex |
|---|---|---|
| Connections per housing | One | Two |
| Individual fibre port | Yes | Paired arrangement |
| Fibre organisation | Separate connections | Keeps two connections together |
| Housing configuration | Simplex | Duplex |
| Typical use | Individual SC connection | Paired SC connections |
Neither format changes the underlying fibre category. Instead, the choice determines how the SC connection points are physically arranged.
Both OM1 and OM3 are Multimode fibre categories, although their intended network applications differ.

Select the adaptor that corresponds with the fibre infrastructure already installed.
OM3 and OM4 are both laser-optimised Multimode fibre categories.
Within this fibreSales adaptor range, the OM3 version uses an aqua housing, while the corresponding OM4 product uses Erika Violet for visual differentiation.
Both options use phosphor bronze alignment sleeves in the products described within this range.
Network performance does not come from the adaptor colour itself. Instead, the complete fibre channel, transceivers, link length and applicable networking standard determine supported performance.
Contamination can increase optical loss even when an adaptor provides accurate mechanical alignment.
Dust, oils and microscopic debris may interfere with the fibre connector end face. Consequently, technicians should inspect and clean connectors whenever required before mating them.
