MMC-16 to MTP-16 APC Jumper, 16 FibersMMC-16 to MTP-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 MMC-16 to MTP-16 jumper connects two separate multi-fiber form factors over sixteen OM4 fibers. The MMC connection end and MTP Elite end are the two APC female, and the bend-insensitive multimode cable uses a 2.5mm plenum jacket. It offers a direct, compact patching alternative between MMC infrastructure and established MTP-16 multimode hardware.

Practical role in a multimode channel
This manufactured assembly suits migrations where MMC panels are being introduced without replacing each MTP-based joint. A single factory-built jumper avoids an extra adapter pair that would otherwise be needed to convert form factors. It remains essential to evaluate that the active hardware or cassette presents the compatible pinned mates and that the optical path requires APC at the two connection points.
Connector-specific return-loss requirements
The MMC interface is specified for at least 40dB return loss; at the same time, the MTP APC interface is specified for at least 45dB; maximum insertion loss across this manufactured assembly is 0.35dB. Keeping individual connector data in the documentation makes fault isolation more meaningful. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm, with actual configuration reach set by the optics.
Installation length and cable care
Define from 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft) standard versions, or specify a project-specific meter or foot length. Take care never to pull this manufactured assembly by either connector boot during routing. Support the 2.5mm cable through the manager, keep the 7.5mm fiber bend allowance and keep dust caps fitted until the two end faces have been inspected.
Ordering and Factory Support
Order by part number 16FMMCMTPOM4 with length and quantity. Project-specific tags may document the MMC and MTP ends separately, which is helpful when multiple transition patch leads occupy the matching panel; specify this identification when submitting the order. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
