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

The 16FMMCMTPSMF jumper provides a direct transition from a compact MMC-16 APC female connector to an MTP-16 APC Elite female connector. Sixteen OS2 G.657.A1 fibers run through the 2.5mm OFNP cable, allowing newer MMC infrastructure to connect with established MTP-based panels or equipment without adding a cassette between the two interfaces.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to MTP® 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)

This cord is useful when one side of a channel has adopted VSFF MMC connectivity and the other remains MTP-16. It reduces the number of intermediate components, but it does not change the connector gender: both ends are female and non-pinned. Confirm that the mating MMC and MTP interfaces supply guide pins and that both sides use APC polish before installation.

Although the optical fiber count is the same at both ends, the MMC and MTP housings have different physical dimensions and keying features. Technicians should identify each end before routing so the correct connector reaches the correct panel. Factory jumper polarity defines the fiber map across the assembly; any additional trunk or adapter must preserve the intended transmit-to-receive paths.

The standard range is 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with custom lengths in meters or feet. Insertion loss is limited to 0.35dB and return loss is at least 60dB. Production testing should be complemented by incoming end-face inspection, because dust on either the MMC or MTP ferrule can compromise an otherwise correctly manufactured transition cord.

Reference 16FMMCMTPSMF and specify the required length and quantity. For mixed MMC/MTP channels, include the equipment and panel connector genders in your enquiry so the factory can flag any interface mismatch before the cords are built.
