MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC BreakoutMMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OM4
New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. This 16-fiber OM4 breakout uses APC polish at the MMC connector and at the two MTP-8 connectors. One compact MMC female interface fans out to two MTP Elite female interfaces over bend-insensitive multimode fiber. It is appropriate for parallel optical channels where low-reflection APC connections and a direct two-way fan-out are intended without intermediate cassette hardware.

Consistent APC interfaces across the assembly
All three joint points use APC polish, making this design distinct from the UPC-branch alternative. The MMC and MTP connectors are female and non-pinned, and every must be paired with the compatible pinned mate. evaluate that the relevant equipment design expects two eight-fiber branches from a sixteen-fiber MMC port and that the optical path follows harness polarity before deploying the product.
Multimode optical performance
This manufactured assembly has 0.35dB maximum insertion loss. Minimum return loss is 40dB at the MMC interface and 45dB at the MTP APC interfaces, with OM4 attenuation specified at 850nm and 1300nm. These data support engineering of the passive optical path; they take care never to override the transceiver manufacturer’s limits for complete connections or fiber distance.
Branch routing and length choices
Regular length versions are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with project-built lengths in feet or meters. Keep the breakout point accessible for inspection and avoid burying it under a tight bundle. The two MTP legs ought to adhere to alike bend and strain conditions, especially where they terminate in adjacent ports on the matching panel.
Ordering and Factory Support
Use part number 16FMMCMTPOM4 and document the APC-to-APC breakout configuration when specifying the purchase. Submit full length, quantity and any branch-label scheme; project-specific fan-out data can be reviewed against a simple rack or port layout. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
