MMC-16 to MTP-16 APC Jumper, 16 Fibers, OS2

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. The 16FMMCMTPSMF jumper gives a direct transition from a compact MMC-16 APC female connector to an MTP-16 APC Elite female connector. Sixteen OS2 G.657.A1 fibers run through the 2.5mm OFNP cable, allowing newer MMC infrastructure to connect with established MTP-based panels or equipment without adding a cassette between the two interfaces.

Product Highlights

• MMC insertion loss ≤0.35dB, return loss ≥60dB
• Jumper Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

Using the MMC-to-MTP transition

This cord is useful when one side of an optical path has adopted VSFF MMC connectivity and the other remains MTP-16. It reduces the number of intermediate components, but it is not intended to change the connector interface gender: both cable ends are female and non-pinned. Validate that the mating MMC and MTP interfaces supply guide pins and that both sides use APC polish before fitting the assembly.

One jumper, two connector form factors

Although the optical fiber count is the equivalent at both cable ends, the MMC and MTP housings have separate physical dimensions and keying features. Field staff should identify each end before routing so the right connector reaches the right panel. Factory jumper polarity defines the fiber assignment across the factory-built assembly; any additional trunk or adapter must observe the intended transmit-to-receive optical routes.

Length selection and single-mode verification

The standard range is 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with non-standard lengths in feet or meters. Insertion loss is limited to 0.35dB and return loss is at least 60dB. Production testing should ideally be complemented by incoming end-face inspection, given that dust on either the MMC or MTP ferrule may compromise an otherwise correctly manufactured transition cord.

Ordering and Factory Support

Reference 16FMMCMTPSMF and list the applicable length and unit count. For mixed MMC/MTP channels, state the hardware and panel connector genders in your inquiry so the factory may flag any interface mismatch before the patch leads are built. Customers in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
