MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OS2

Malaysian upgrade projects can use this configuration where its interface and fiber map align with both the installed cabling and the new hardware. This OS2 breakout cable terminates a 16-fiber MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 APC Elite female legs. It comes with a direct single-mode fan-out for parallel-optics links that divide sixteen fibers into two eight-fiber interfaces. Factory-built harness polarity and labeled branches remove the need for an independent cassette and its further mated connections.

Specifications

Mapping one MMC-16 into two MTP-8 legs

The MMC side concentrates all sixteen fibers in one VSFF housing, whereas every MTP branch carries eight fibers. This arrangement is right only when the port and panel design expects the same two-way assignment. All three connectors are female and non-pinned, meaning that the mating interfaces must come with guide pins. Determine the appropriate APC polish on each leg before connecting the finished product.

Loss planning across three connection points

The specified insertion loss is 0.35dB maximum and return loss is at least 60dB. An installed link budget must document the MMC connection, the chosen MTP branch connection and any adapters farther along the route. Keeping the two branch identities in the test report and rack records makes it easier to isolate a fault to one eight-fiber path.

Fan-out placement and standard lengths

Available lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with customized cable lengths in feet or meters. Choose a length that lets the breakout assembly body rest in a supported area rather than hang from the MMC port. Route the two MTP legs with gentle bends and avoid loading one branch differently from the other when dressing the completed cable.

Ordering and Factory Support

Request 16FMMCMTPSMF in the two-leg OS2 breakout configuration, stating complete length and unit count. If branch labels or unequal leg lengths are needed for a particular rack layout, document a fan-out drawing with the inquiry. For Malaysian upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
