MMC Breakout Cables

MMC breakout cables divide a compact sixteen-fiber or twenty-four-fiber MMC interface into multiple MTP-8 legs. The sixteen-fiber models have two branches and the twenty-four-fiber models have three, creating direct passive fan-outs without a separate cassette.

Match the branch count to the fiber map

Two MTP-8 connectors represent sixteen fibers, while three represent twenty-four. This physical relationship must also match the equipment lane plan. A breakout is not an optical splitter for arbitrary connections; each branch carries a defined group of fibers under the harness polarity documented for the assembly.

Select polish separately at MMC and MTP

The range includes OS2 APC-to-APC models, OM4 APC-to-APC models and OM4 versions with MMC APC and MTP UPC. Return loss differs between these interfaces. Verify every mating connector before ordering, because mechanically similar APC and UPC connections must not be interchanged.

Allow space for the fan-out and branch labels

Standard overall lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with custom lengths available. Support the fan-out body rather than letting it hang from a port, and label every MTP leg before bundling. Custom branch identifiers and leg arrangements can be matched to the rack drawing for repeat deployments.
