MMC-24 APC to 3 x MTP-8 UPC Breakout Cable, 24 Fibers, OM4

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. This 24-fiber OM4 breakout pairs an MMC APC female trunk connector with three MTP-8 UPC female branches. The factory-built assembly addresses multimode fan-out designs that require APC specifically at the MMC interface and UPC at the MTP destinations. Its 2.5mm plenum trunk and factory-controlled branches give a compact alternative to a cassette and multiple patch patch leads.

Product Highlights

• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

Identifying the APC-to-UPC configuration

The polish change is intentional and should be matched at every mating point. Given that the housings fit, take care not to connect the UPC branches to APC adapters only. All four connectors on this fiber cable are female and non-pinned. Inspect guide-pin arrangements and document which of the three MTP-8 branches corresponds to each destination in the 24-fiber map.

Connector performance and multimode reach

Insertion loss is 0.35dB maximum, with return loss of at least 40dB at the MMC APC end and 27dB at each MTP UPC end. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. These passive specifications should ideally be evaluated with the optics’ power budget and the other mated pairs in the installed link.

Length and branch-management guidance

The standard overall lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with custom meter or foot lengths provided. Allow adequate room to channel three branches without sharply bending one to reach its port. Keep the branch transition supported and mark each MTP connector before bundling the legs with other OM4 cables.

Ordering and Factory Support

When submitting a request for 24FMMCMTPOM4, list the three-branch APC-to-UPC configuration, overall length and unit count. Custom tags may identify the MMC source and three destinations, reducing the chance of confusion with the APC-to-APC configuration. Customers in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
