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

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 provide eight duplex paths for switches, servers or patch panels. The single 2.5mm plenum trunk keeps the main route compact, while factory-terminated LC branches eliminate the need for a separate multimode cassette.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to LC UPC Duplex, 16 Fibers
• OM4 50/125µm, bend-insensitive fiber
• MMC insertion loss ≤0.35dB, return loss ≥40dB
• LC insertion loss ≤0.2dB, return loss ≥30dB
• Harness Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

The harness is suitable when an MMC-based parallel interface must connect to LC duplex equipment using OM4. It does not perform electronic conversion or change lane speeds; it provides the passive fiber map only. Confirm that the active port expects this breakout arrangement and that every LC leg is assigned to the correct duplex destination.

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 assess each complete duplex link.

Choose standard lengths of 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) or 3m (10ft), or request 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 fan-out body and preserve the 7.5mm minimum fiber bend radius near the connectors.

Quote 16FMMCLCOM4 with the required length and quantity. Include your preferred LC branch identifiers and MMC label details; the factory can align these markings with the rack's duplex-port numbering to simplify future moves and troubleshooting.
