Malaysian upgrade projects can use this configuration where its interface and fiber map align with both the installed cabling and the new hardware. The 24FMMCMTPOM4 jumper combines a 24-fiber MMC APC female interface with a 24-fiber MTP UPC female interface. This mixed-polish OM4 assembly is built for channels that specifically require APC at the MMC side and UPC at the MTP side. It is not equivalent to interchangeable with the APC-to-APC version, even though the two products share the same fiber count and connector families.

APC and UPC end faces have different geometry and reflection behavior. They ought to never be forced together in a mating adapter. This jumper deliberately places APC on the MMC connector and UPC on the MTP Elite connector, meaning that the surrounding channel must present the matching APC and UPC interfaces. Checking the polish at every end is as important as confirming 24-fiber compatibility.
One 2.5mm OFNP jumper carries all 24 fibers, reducing cable bulk compared with twelve duplex cords. The two connectors are female and non-pinned, and factory jumper polarity controls the internal layout. The MMC side comes with at least 40dB return loss; the UPC MTP side is rated at 20dB minimum, with 0.35dB maximum insertion loss for the finished product.
Standard choices are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), plus customized cable lengths in feet or meters. Define this APC-to-UPC model clearly and consistently in rack documentation to distinguish it from APC-to-APC cords. During the install, inspect the ferrules, follow the key orientation and keep the 7.5mm minimum optical-fiber bend radius around the MMC and MTP boots.
Specify 24FMMCMTPOM4 and explicitly determine the APC-to-UPC need, length and unit count. A simple port plan showing the MMC and MTP mating interfaces will help prevent an accidental substitution with the APC-to-APC model. For Malaysian upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
