MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OM4

Malaysian upgrade projects can use this configuration where its interface and fiber map align with both the installed cabling and the new hardware. This 16-fiber OM4 breakout uses APC polish at the MMC connector and at the two MTP-8 connectors. One compact MMC female interface fans out to two MTP Elite female interfaces over bend-insensitive multimode fiber. It is created for parallel optical channels where low-reflection APC connections and a direct two-way fan-out are appropriate without intermediate cassette hardware.

Product Highlights

• Harness Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

Consistent APC interfaces across the assembly

All three connection points use APC polish, making this variant distinct from the UPC-branch alternative. The MMC and MTP connectors are female and non-pinned, and every must be paired with the intended pinned mate. validate that the connected hardware design expects two eight-fiber branches from a sixteen-fiber MMC port and that the channel follows harness polarity before putting it into service.

Multimode optical performance

The finished product has 0.35dB maximum insertion loss. Minimum return loss is 40dB at the MMC interface and 45dB at the MTP APC interfaces, with OM4 attenuation specified at 850nm and 1300nm. These ratings support engineering of the passive link; they do not override the transceiver manufacturer’s limits for full connections or fiber distance.

Branch routing and length choices

Normal length options are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with customized cable lengths in feet or meters. Keep the breakout point accessible for inspection and avoid burying it under a tight bundle. The two MTP legs ought to follow similar bend and strain conditions, especially where they terminate in adjacent ports on the same panel.

Ordering and Factory Support

Use part number 16FMMCMTPOM4 and define the APC-to-APC breakout version when purchasing. Document complete length, unit count and any branch-label scheme; made-to-order fan-out information can generally be reviewed against a simple rack or port drawing. For Malaysian upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
