MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OM4

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. This 16-fiber OM4 breakout uses APC polish at the MMC connector and at both MTP-8 connectors. One compact MMC female interface fans out to two MTP Elite female interfaces over bend-insensitive multimode fiber. It is meant for parallel optical channels where low-reflection APC connections and a direct two-way fan-out are applicable without intermediate cassette hardware.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to MTP® Female, 16 Fibers
• OM4 50/125μm, bend-insensitive fiber
• MMC insertion loss ≤0.35dB, return loss ≥40/45dB (MMC/MTP®)
• Harness Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

Consistent APC interfaces across the assembly

All three joint points use APC polish, making the configuration distinct from the UPC-branch alternative. The MMC and MTP connectors are female and non-pinned, and each should be paired with the right pinned mate. inspect that the hardware design expects two eight-fiber branches from a sixteen-fiber MMC port and that the optical path follows harness polarity before fitting the assembly.

Multimode optical performance

The factory-built assembly has 0.35dB maximum insertion loss. Minimum return loss is 40dB at the MMC interface and 45dB at the MTP APC interfaces, with OM4 attenuation specified at 850nm and 1300nm. These values support engineering of the passive optical path; they take care not to override the transceiver manufacturer’s limits for total connections or fiber distance.

Branch routing and length choices

Standard size options are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with non-standard lengths in feet or meters. Keep the breakout point accessible for inspection and avoid burying it under a tight bundle. Both MTP legs should follow equivalent bend and strain conditions, especially where they terminate in adjacent ports on the equivalent panel.

Ordering and Factory Support

Use part number 16FMMCMTPOM4 and identify the APC-to-APC breakout configuration when submitting the order. State overall length, unit count and any branch-label scheme; custom fan-out details may readily be reviewed against a simple rack or port layout. Customers in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
