MMC-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness Cable, 16 Fibers, OM4

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. This OM4 MMC-to-LC harness fans one MMC-16 APC female connector out to eight LC UPC duplex legs. Sixteen bend-insensitive multimode fibers give eight duplex optical routes for switches, servers or patch panels. The single 2.5mm plenum trunk keeps the central channel compact, and at the same time terminated under factory control LC branches eliminate the need for a separate multimode cassette.

Specifications

Direct fan-out for multimode equipment

This harness assembly is suitable when a MMC-based parallel interface must connect to LC duplex equipment using OM4. It is not intended to perform electronic conversion or change lane speeds; it gives the passive fiber map only. Validate that the active port expects this breakout arrangement and that every LC leg is assigned to the right duplex destination.

MMC and LC optical values

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB at MMC and 0.2dB at LC. Minimum return loss is 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 30dB for LC UPC. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. Use these figures with the transceiver budget and other connections to examine each complete duplex optical path.

Managing eight LC duplex branches

Determine standard size options of 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) or 3m (10ft), or order custom meter and foot lengths. Eight branch pairs need orderly routing to prevent crossed transmit and receive connections. Label the legs before bundling, support the branch transition body and observe the 7.5mm minimum fiber bend radius near the mating connectors.

Ordering and Factory Support

Quote 16FMMCLCOM4 with the applicable length and unit count. State your preferred LC branch identifiers and MMC label details; the factory may align these markings with the rack’s duplex-port numbering to simplify future moves and fault isolation. Customers in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
