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

The 16FMMCSMF jumper links two MMC-16 APC female interfaces with sixteen OS2 fibers in a single 2.5mm plenum cable. It is intended for dense single-mode patching where a compact connector footprint and controlled fiber mapping matter as much as optical loss. G.657.A1 glass supports routing through crowded managers without abandoning single-mode bend performance.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to MMC Female, 16 Fibers
• OS2 9/125µm, G.657.A1
• 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)

Use this assembly between MMC adapter positions or other non-pinned MMC connection points in a structured cabling channel. Both ends are female, so the mating interface must provide the corresponding guide pins. It is not a generic replacement for an LC duplex cord: the sixteen fibers remain in one multi-fiber interface at each end, making the jumper most useful in parallel-optics and high-density panel environments.

Each MMC connection is specified at 0.35dB maximum insertion loss and at least 60dB return loss. Those values belong in the channel calculation alongside every adapter and trunk in the route. The cable has a 10mm minimum fiber bend radius and a 20/10D dynamic/static cable bend requirement; leave enough space behind the panel to meet those limits rather than forcing the boot into a sharp turn.

Standard lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with other lengths available in meters or feet. This model uses jumper polarity, which should be checked against the complete link rather than assumed from the connector shape alone. Before mating, confirm APC-to-APC compatibility, inspect both ferrules and verify that the panel key orientation matches the connector.

Quote 16FMMCSMF with the required length and quantity. For a non-standard route, include the desired length, labeling and packaging details; our team can also review gender and polarity against the panel schedule before production.
