MMC-16 to MTP-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 MMC-16 to MTP-16 jumper connects two different multi-fiber form factors over sixteen OM4 fibers. The MMC-side interface and MTP Elite end are the two APC female, and the bend-insensitive multimode cable uses a 2.5mm plenum jacket. It offers a direct, compact patching option between MMC infrastructure and current MTP-16 multimode hardware.

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

Specifications

Practical role in a multimode channel

The finished product suits migrations where MMC panels are being introduced without replacing each MTP-based connection. A single factory-built jumper avoids an extra adapter pair that would otherwise be needed to convert form factors. It remains essential to validate that the active hardware or cassette presents the intended pinned mates and that the channel requires APC at the two terminations.

Connector-specific return-loss requirements

The MMC interface is specified for at least 40dB return loss, whereas the MTP APC interface is specified for at least 45dB; maximum insertion loss across the finished product is 0.35dB. Keeping independent connector ratings in the documentation makes troubleshooting more meaningful. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm, with actual system reach set by the optics.

Installation length and cable care

Choose from 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft) standard versions, or request a made-to-order meter or foot length. Do not pull the finished product by either connector boot during routing. Support the 2.5mm cable through the manager, maintain the 7.5mm fiber bend allowance and keep dust caps fitted until the two end faces have been inspected.

Ordering and Factory Support

Order by part number 16FMMCMTPOM4 with length and unit count. Made-to-order labels might define the MMC and MTP ends individually, which is helpful when several transition cords occupy the same panel; request this labelling when submitting the order. For Malaysian upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
