MMC-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness CableMMC-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness Cable, 16 Fibers, OS2
New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. The 16FMMCLCSMF harness connects one MMC-16 APC female interface to eight LC UPC duplex connectors over OS2 fiber. All sixteen fibers are exposed as eight duplex pairs, providing a direct single-mode fan-out between MMC infrastructure and LC-based hardware or panels. This removes the intermediate cassette that would otherwise add hardware and a different mated joint.

Eight duplex legs with separate connector budgets
The MMC connection end is rated at 0.35dB maximum insertion loss and 60dB minimum return loss. Every LC UPC interface is specified at 0.2dB maximum insertion loss and 50dB minimum return loss. Keeping the two connector types individual in the specification enables engineers build an unambiguous loss calculation for whichever duplex optical route is being tested.
Port mapping at the LC side
Eight alike LC duplex connectors require unambiguous identification. Match each individual branch to the intended transmit and receive ports and maintain harness polarity through the rest of the optical path. The MMC connector is female and non-pinned; ensure the pinned mating interface and APC compatibility before insertion. LC UPC ends must likewise connect to UPC, not APC, adapters.
Length, fan-out position and fiber care
Standard full lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with project-built lengths in feet or meters. Place the relevant fan-out where the LC legs may reach their ports without side loading. While the full cable additionally has dynamic and static bend criteria that should be observed during dressing, G.657.A1 fiber has a 10mm minimum bend radius.
Ordering and Factory Support
Order 16FMMCLCSMF with full length and quantity, and submit any LC leg-numbering scheme. For racks with several harnesses, customer-specific tags may tie every of the eight duplex legs directly to the port documentation. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
