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

This OM4 version of the MMC-16 to MMC-16 jumper carries sixteen multimode fibers between two APC female MMC connectors. Its 2.5mm magenta-family plenum construction is suited to dense in-rack and row-level cabling, while bend-insensitive OM4 glass supports 850/1300nm multimode links. The factory-terminated design removes field polishing from a sixteen-fiber installation.

Product Highlights

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

The jumper is designed for MMC-based panels and equipment interfaces that need sixteen fibers in one small connection. Both cable ends are non-pinned females and must mate with the appropriate pinned interface. Compared with breaking the link into eight separate duplex cords, a single MMC jumper can simplify dressing and port identification, provided the connected equipment is designed around the same fiber map.

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB and minimum return loss is 40dB for this OM4 APC assembly. 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 link length still depends on the optical module, wavelength and total number of mated connections.

Available standard lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), and custom meter or foot lengths can be manufactured. Select a length that reaches the route without leaving a tight coil behind the panel. Maintain the 7.5mm minimum optical-fiber bend radius and observe the stated cable bend limits, particularly where several VSFF jumpers share one manager.

When ordering 16FMMCOM4, state the length, quantity and any project labels. If the link includes MMC-to-MTP cords or a breakout elsewhere, send the channel drawing so fiber mode and polarity can be checked as one system.
