MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 UPC BreakoutMMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 UPC 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. The 16FMMCMTPOM4 APC-to-UPC breakout divides sixteen OM4 fibers from one MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 UPC female branches. It is built for multimode channels that require this particular polish combination. The direct fan-out replaces cassette-based conversion with one factory-tested item and two in clear terms identifiable eight-fiber optical routes.

A mixed-polish multimode fan-out
APC at the MMC connection end and UPC at the two MTP ends must be compatible with the surrounding interfaces; this design ought to not be substituted for the APC-to-APC breakout. The female, non-pinned connectors require pinned mates. Because the two MTP branches may serve separate destination ports, label each separate branch and record its allocation before dressing the relevant cable into a manager.
Reflection and insertion-loss values by connector
Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB. Return loss is specified separately as at least 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 27dB for the MTP UPC interface. Those figures should be retained in acceptance documentation rather than replaced by a single standard specification. OM4 fiber supports the 850/1300nm multimode optical path; at the same time, reach remains determined by the selected transceivers.
Installing the two-leg assembly
The standard full lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft); project-specific meter and foot lengths are offered. Mounting point the relevant fan-out so neither MTP leg is pulled sideways, and respect the 7.5mm optical-fiber bend radius. Clean and review the MMC and the two MTP ferrules before making the three connections.
Ordering and Factory Support
Record 16FMMCMTPOM4 in the APC-to-UPC two-branch configuration, with length and quantity. For repeat installations, project-specific branch IDs and a customer part-number label may keep these mixed-polish cables distinct from the APC-to-APC variants. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
