MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 UPC 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. The 16FMMCMTPOM4 APC-to-UPC breakout divides sixteen OM4 fibers from one MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 UPC female branches. It is built for multimode channels that require this exact polish combination. The direct fan-out replaces cassette-based conversion with one factory-tested assembly and two clearly and consistently identifiable eight-fiber paths.

• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

A mixed-polish multimode fan-out

APC at the MMC-side interface and UPC at the two MTP ends must agree with the surrounding interfaces; this variant ought to not be substituted for the APC-to-APC breakout. The female, non-pinned connectors require pinned mates. Because the two MTP branches may serve different destination ports, label every individual branch and record its assignment before dressing the completed cable into a manager.

Reflection and insertion-loss values by connector

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB. Return loss is specified individually as at least 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 27dB for the MTP UPC interface. Those figures should be retained in acceptance documentation rather than replaced by a single universal value. OM4 fiber supports the 850/1300nm multimode channel, whereas reach remains determined by the chosen transceivers.

Installing the two-leg assembly

The standard complete lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft); made-to-order meter and foot lengths are available. Position the breakout assembly so neither MTP leg is pulled sideways, and respect the 7.5mm optical-fiber bend radius. Clean and inspect the MMC and the two MTP ferrules before making the three connections.

Ordering and Factory Support

Provide 16FMMCMTPOM4 in the APC-to-UPC two-branch version, with length and unit count. For repeat installations, made-to-order branch IDs and a customer part-number label might keep these mixed-polish cables distinct from the APC-to-APC variants. For Malaysian upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
