MMC-16 to MMC-16 APC Jumper, 16 FibersMMC-16 to MMC-16 APC Jumper, 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 OM4 configuration of the MMC-16 to MMC-16 jumper carries sixteen multimode fibers between two APC female MMC connectors. Its 2.5mm magenta-product line plenum design is suited to dense in-rack and row-level cabling; at the same time, bend-insensitive OM4 glass supports 850/1300nm multimode links. The factory-finished design removes field polishing from a sixteen-fiber deployment.

A compact multimode patching interface
The relevant jumper is specified for MMC-based panels and hardware interfaces that need sixteen fibers in one small joint. The two cable ends are non-pinned females and must mate with the suitable pinned interface. Compared with breaking the optical path into eight individual duplex patch leads, a single MMC jumper may simplify dressing and port identification, provided the connected hardware is designed around the matching fiber assignment.
OM4 loss and reflection values
Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB and minimum return loss is 40dB for this OM4 APC item. The specified attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. These are cable and connector characteristics, not a promise of transceiver reach; the permissible optical path length still is established by the optical module, wavelength and complete number of mated connections.
Choosing the length and managing the boot
Offered regular length versions are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), and project-specific meter or foot lengths can be manufactured. Establish a length that reaches the channel without leaving a tight coil behind the relevant panel. Retain the 7.5mm minimum optical-fiber bend radius and follow the stated cable bend limits, particularly where multiple VSFF jumpers share one manager.
Ordering and Factory Support
When specifying the purchase 16FMMCOM4, state the length, quantity and any project tags. If the optical path includes MMC-to-MTP patch leads or a breakout elsewhere, send the optical path layout so fiber mode and polarity can be checked as one configuration. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
