MMC-16 to MMC-16 APC Jumper, 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 version of the MMC-16 to MMC-16 jumper carries sixteen multimode fibers between two APC female MMC connectors. While bend-insensitive OM4 glass supports 850/1300nm multimode links, its 2.5mm magenta-family plenum construction is suited to dense in-rack and row-level cabling. The factory-completed design removes field polishing from a sixteen-fiber fitting.

Specifications

A compact multimode patching interface

This jumper assembly is built for MMC-based panels and hardware interfaces that need sixteen fibers in one small connection. The two cable ends are non-pinned females and must mate with the right pinned interface. Compared with breaking the link into eight independent duplex cords, a single MMC jumper might simplify dressing and port identification, provided the connected hardware is designed around the same fiber layout.

OM4 loss and reflection values

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB and minimum return loss is 40dB for this OM4 APC assembly. The specified attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. These are cable and connector characteristics, not a promise of transceiver reach; the permissible link length still varies with the optical module, wavelength and full number of mated connections.

Choosing the length and managing the boot

Available normal length options are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), and made-to-order meter or foot lengths can generally be manufactured. Select a length that reaches the route without leaving a tight coil behind the mounted panel. Observe the 7.5mm minimum optical-fiber bend radius and maintain the stated cable bend limits, more specifically where several VSFF jumpers share one manager.

Ordering and Factory Support

When purchasing 16FMMCOM4, state the length, unit count and any project labels. If the link includes MMC-to-MTP cords or a breakout elsewhere, send the channel drawing so fiber mode and polarity can generally be checked as one system. For Malaysian upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
