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

This MMC-16 to MTP-16 jumper connects two different multi-fiber form factors over sixteen OM4 fibers. The MMC end and MTP Elite end are both APC female, and the bend-insensitive multimode cable uses a 2.5mm plenum jacket. It offers a direct, compact patching option between MMC infrastructure and existing MTP-16 multimode hardware.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to MTP® Female, 16 Fibers
• OM4 50/125µm, bend-insensitive fiber
• MMC insertion loss ≤0.35dB, return loss ≥40/45dB (MMC/MTP®)
• Jumper Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

The assembly suits migrations where MMC panels are being introduced without replacing every MTP-based connection. A single factory-built jumper avoids an extra adapter pair that would otherwise be needed to convert form factors. It remains essential to check that the active equipment or cassette presents the correct pinned mates and that the channel requires APC at both ends.

The MMC interface is specified for at least 40dB return loss, while the MTP APC interface is specified for at least 45dB; maximum insertion loss across the assembly is 0.35dB. Keeping separate connector values in the documentation makes troubleshooting more meaningful. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm, with actual system reach set by the optics.

Choose from 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft) standard versions, or request a custom meter or foot length. Do not pull the assembly by either connector boot during routing. Support the 2.5mm cable through the manager, retain the 7.5mm fiber bend allowance and keep dust caps fitted until both end faces have been inspected.

Order by part number 16FMMCMTPOM4 with length and quantity. Custom labels can identify the MMC and MTP ends separately, which is helpful when several transition cords occupy the same panel; request this labeling when submitting the order.
