MMC-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness 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 OM4 MMC-to-LC harness fans one MMC-16 APC female connector out to eight LC UPC duplex legs. Sixteen bend-insensitive multimode fibers come with eight duplex paths for switches, servers or patch panels. The single 2.5mm plenum trunk keeps the main route compact, whereas factory-completed LC branches eliminate the need for an independent multimode cassette.

Specifications

Direct fan-out for multimode equipment

This fan-out assembly is suitable when a MMC-based parallel interface must connect to LC duplex hardware using OM4. It is not designed to perform electronic conversion or change lane speeds; it comes with the passive fiber layout only. Determine that the active port expects this breakout arrangement and that each LC leg is assigned to the intended duplex destination.

MMC and LC optical values

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB at MMC and 0.2dB at LC. Minimum return loss is 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 30dB for LC UPC. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. Use these figures with the transceiver budget and other connections to assess every whole duplex link.

Managing eight LC duplex branches

Choose normal length options of 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) or 3m (10ft), or request made-to-order meter and foot lengths. Eight branch pairs need orderly routing to prevent crossed transmit and receive connections. Label the legs before bundling, support the breakout assembly body and keep the 7.5mm minimum fiber bend radius near the relevant connectors.

Ordering and Factory Support

Specify 16FMMCLCOM4 with the appropriate length and unit count. Document your preferred LC branch identifiers and MMC label information; the factory might align these markings with the rack’s duplex-port numbering to simplify future moves and troubleshooting. For Malaysian upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
