MMC-16 to MTP-16 APC Jumper, 16 FibersMMC-16 to MTP-16 APC Jumper, 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 16FMMCMTPSMF jumper provides a direct transition from a compact MMC-16 APC female connector to an MTP-16 APC Elite female connector. Sixteen OS2 G.657.A1 fibers run through the 2.5mm OFNP cable, allowing newer MMC infrastructure to connect with established MTP-based panels or hardware without adding a cassette between the two interfaces.

Using the MMC-to-MTP transition
This cord is helpful when one side of an optical path has adopted VSFF MMC connectivity and the other remains MTP-16. It reduces the number of intermediate components, but it does not on its own change the relevant connector gender: the two connection points are female and non-pinned. Cross-check that the mating MMC and MTP interfaces supply guide pins and that the two sides use APC polish before deploying the product.
One jumper, two connector form factors
Although the optical fiber count is the matching at the two connection points, the MMC and MTP housings have separate physical dimensions and keying features. Field staff ought to document every end before routing so the compatible connector reaches the compatible panel. Factory jumper polarity defines the relevant fiber map across this manufactured assembly; any added trunk or adapter must maintain the intended transmit-to-receive optical routes.
Length selection and single-mode verification
The standard range is 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with project-built lengths in feet or meters. Insertion loss is limited to 0.35dB and return loss is at least 60dB. Given that dust on either the MMC or MTP ferrule may compromise an otherwise correctly manufactured transition cord, production testing should be complemented by incoming end-face inspection,.
Ordering and Factory Support
Reference 16FMMCMTPSMF and record the intended length and quantity. For mixed MMC/MTP channels, submit the relevant equipment and panel connector genders in your enquiry so the factory may flag any interface mismatch before the patch leads are built. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
