MTP-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness, 16MTP-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness, 16 Fibers, OM4, Crossover
This MTP®-16 Female with Offset Key harness fans one multi-fiber connector out to duplex LC legs, replacing a cassette and patch cords with a single factory tested assembly. OM4 50/125μm fiber, 16 Fibers, Plenum (OFNP) jacket.
Standard lengths are 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft) and 40m (131ft). Because we are the manufacturer, any other length between or beyond these steps can be produced on request, with your choice of jacket color, labeling and packaging.

Applications
Install this harness between an MPO trunk or panel and LC based transceivers. The 16-fiber interface matches 400G SR8 optics, where all 16 fibers carry active transmit and receive lanes. The labeled duplex legs make it easy to land each pair on the correct port.
LC Legs and Port Mapping
The harness replaces a cassette with a direct optical path from the MPO connector to each LC pair. This removes two mated connections from the channel, improving both loss budget and reliability. Custom leg lengths and labels are available on request.
Ordering Information
To order, quote 16FMTPLCOM4 together with the length and quantity you need. The 1m (3ft) version is the standard model; Private labeling, custom packaging and project specific documentation are all handled in-house.
Quality and Testing
Every MPO/MTP assembly leaving our factory is 100% tested for insertion loss and return loss, with end face geometry checks on the multi-fiber ferrules. Controlled polishing keeps the loss budget stable across the whole batch, which matters when several mated pairs sit in one link.
How We Pack
Each assembly is coiled, capped and sealed in an individual bag, then packed into foam lined export cartons. Test reports can be attached per unit or per batch, and carton marks follow your shipping instructions.
Built to Your Spec
Our engineering team handles custom MPO/MTP assemblies daily. If the standard configuration does not match your link design, send us the requirement and we will build exactly what your network needs at factory-direct cost.
