MMC-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness 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. The 16FMMCLCSMF harness connects one MMC-16 APC female interface to eight LC UPC duplex connectors over OS2 fiber. All sixteen fibers are exposed as eight duplex pairs, providing a direct single-mode fan-out between MMC infrastructure and LC-based hardware or panels. This removes the intermediate cassette that would otherwise add hardware and one more mated connection.

Specifications

Eight duplex legs with separate connector budgets

The MMC-side interface is rated at 0.35dB maximum insertion loss and 60dB minimum return loss. Every LC UPC interface is specified at 0.2dB maximum insertion loss and 50dB minimum return loss. Keeping the two connector types independent in the specification permits engineers build a technically accurate channel loss calculation for whichever duplex path is being tested.

Port mapping at the LC side

Eight similar LC duplex connectors require clear identification. Match every branch leg to the intended transmit and receive ports and keep harness polarity through the rest of the channel. The MMC connector is female and non-pinned; determine the pinned mating interface and APC compatibility before insertion. LC UPC ends must likewise connect to UPC, not APC, adapters.

Length, fan-out position and fiber care

Standard complete lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with customized cable lengths in feet or meters. Place the breakout assembly where the LC legs might reach their ports without side loading. G.657.A1 fiber has a 10mm minimum bend radius, whereas the whole cable also has dynamic and static bend requirements that should be observed during dressing.

Ordering and Factory Support

Order 16FMMCLCSMF with complete length and unit count, and document any LC leg-numbering scheme. For racks with multiple harnesses, customer-specific labels might tie every of the eight duplex legs directly to the port documentation. For Malaysian upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
