MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OS2

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. This OS2 breakout cable terminates a 16-fiber MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 APC Elite female legs. It gives a direct single-mode fan-out for parallel-optics links that divide sixteen fibers into two eight-fiber interfaces. Factory-built harness polarity and labeled branches remove the need for a separate cassette and its additional mated connections.

Specifications

Mapping one MMC-16 into two MTP-8 legs

The MMC side concentrates all sixteen fibers in one VSFF housing, and at the same time each MTP branch carries eight fibers. This arrangement is appropriate only when the port and panel design expects the equivalent two-way mapping. All three connectors are female and non-pinned; as a result, the mating interfaces must give guide pins. Establish the applicable APC polish on every leg before connecting the factory-built assembly.

Loss planning across three connection points

The specified insertion loss is 0.35dB maximum and return loss is at least 60dB. A whole optical link budget must state the MMC joint, the chosen MTP branch joint and any adapters farther along the channel. Keeping the two branch identities in the test report and rack records makes it easier to isolate a fault to one eight-fiber optical route.

Fan-out placement and standard lengths

Provided lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with non-standard lengths in feet or meters. Determine a length that lets the branch transition body rest in a supported space rather than hang from the MMC port. Channel both MTP legs with gentle bends and avoid loading one branch differently from the other when dressing the fiber cable.

Ordering and Factory Support

Order 16FMMCMTPSMF in the two-leg OS2 breakout design, stating overall length and unit count. If branch tags or unequal leg lengths are needed for a particular rack layout, state a fan-out layout with the inquiry. Customers in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
