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

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 exact polish combination. The direct fan-out replaces cassette-based conversion with one factory-tested assembly and two clearly identifiable eight-fiber paths.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to MTP® Female, 16 Fibers
• OM4 50/125µm, bend-insensitive fiber
• MMC insertion loss ≤0.35dB, return loss ≥40/27dB (MMC/MTP®)
• Harness Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

APC at the MMC end and UPC at both MTP ends must match the surrounding interfaces; this model 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 different destination ports, label each branch and record its mapping before dressing the cable into a manager.

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB. Return loss is specified separately as at least 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 27dB for the MTP UPC interface. Those figures should be retained in acceptance documentation rather than replaced by a single generic value. OM4 fiber supports the 850/1300nm multimode channel, while reach remains determined by the selected transceivers.

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

Specify 16FMMCMTPOM4 in the APC-to-UPC two-branch version, with length and quantity. For repeat installations, custom branch IDs and a customer part-number label can keep these mixed-polish cables distinct from the APC-to-APC variants.
