MMC-16 to MMC-16 APC Jumper, 16 Fibers, OM4

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. This OM4 configuration of the MMC-16 to MMC-16 jumper carries sixteen multimode fibers between two APC female MMC connectors. Whereas bend-insensitive OM4 glass supports 850/1300nm multimode links, its 2.5mm magenta-product line plenum design is suited to dense in-rack and row-level cabling. The terminated under factory control design removes field polishing from a sixteen-fiber deployment.

Specifications

A compact multimode patching interface

This patch cord is suited to MMC-based panels and equipment interfaces that need sixteen fibers in one small joint. Both cable ends are non-pinned females and must mate with the appropriate pinned interface. Compared with breaking the optical path into eight separate duplex patch leads, a single MMC jumper may simplify dressing and port identification, provided the connected equipment is designed around the equivalent fiber map.

OM4 loss and reflection values

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB and minimum return loss is 40dB for this OM4 APC item. The specified attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. These are cable and connector characteristics, not a promise of transceiver reach; the permissible optical path length still is governed by the optical module, wavelength and total number of mated connections.

Choosing the length and managing the boot

Provided standard size options are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), and custom meter or foot lengths may readily be manufactured. Determine a length that reaches the channel without leaving a tight coil behind the fiber panel. Respect the 7.5mm minimum optical-fiber bend radius and observe the stated cable bend limits, most importantly where numerous VSFF jumpers share one manager.

Ordering and Factory Support

When submitting the order 16FMMCOM4, state the length, unit count and any project tags. If the optical path includes MMC-to-MTP patch leads or a breakout elsewhere, send the optical path layout so fiber mode and polarity may readily be checked as one configuration. Customers in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
