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

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. The 16FMMCMTPOM4 APC-to-UPC breakout divides sixteen OM4 fibers from one MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 UPC female branches. It is built for multimode channels that require this particular polish combination. The direct fan-out replaces cassette-based conversion with one factory-tested item and two legibly identifiable eight-fiber optical routes.

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

Specifications

A mixed-polish multimode fan-out

APC at the MMC termination and UPC at both MTP ends must align with the surrounding interfaces; the configuration should not be substituted for the APC-to-APC breakout. The female, non-pinned connectors require pinned mates. Because the two MTP branches may serve separate destination ports, label each individual branch and record its mapping before dressing the fiber cable into a manager.

Reflection and insertion-loss values by connector

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB. Return loss is specified individually as at least 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 27dB for the MTP UPC interface. Those figures should ideally be retained in acceptance documentation rather than replaced by a single standard specification. OM4 fiber supports the 850/1300nm multimode optical path, and at the same time reach remains determined by the chosen transceivers.

Installing the two-leg assembly

The standard overall lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft); custom meter and foot lengths are provided. Mounting point the branch transition so neither MTP leg is pulled sideways, and respect the 7.5mm optical-fiber bend radius. Clean and review the MMC and both MTP ferrules before making the three connections.

Ordering and Factory Support

List 16FMMCMTPOM4 in the APC-to-UPC two-branch configuration, with length and unit count. For repeat installations, custom branch IDs and a customer part-number label may keep these mixed-polish cables distinct from the APC-to-APC variants. Customers in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
