MMC-24 APC to 3 x MTP-8 APC BreakoutMMC-24 APC to 3 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 24 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 24FMMCMTPSMF breakout converts one 24-fiber MMC APC female interface into three MTP-8 APC female interfaces over OS2 G.657.A1 fiber. It is a single-mode, three-way fan-out for high-density parallel cabling. Factory harness polarity defines the relationship between the MMC ferrule and all three eight-fiber branches, eliminating field termination and reducing cabling ambiguity. New Zealand project teams can retain this information with the as-built documentation for later review.

Three independent eight-fiber paths
Every MTP-8 leg represents one third of the 24-fiber MMC interface. This makes this manufactured assembly suitable for hardware and panel layouts that intentionally divide a 24-fiber parallel joint into three groups. It is not equivalent to a standard one-to-three splitter for arbitrary duplex links. Cross-check the port assignment, pinned mating interfaces and APC polish before assigning the branches.
Single-mode testing and documentation
Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB and minimum return loss is 60dB. Acceptance records ought to document the MMC connection end and every MTP branch so all three optical optical routes remain traceable once in service. OS2 attenuation data are provided at 1310nm and 1550nm, but the end-to-end link loss still includes adapters, trunks and connectors beyond this breakout.
Managing a three-leg fan-out
Define 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) or 3m (10ft) standard versions, or specify a different length in feet or meters. A three-branch item needs more space at the relevant fan-out than a straight jumper. Support the breakout body, avoid crossing the legs under tension and maintain the 10mm minimum optical-fiber bend radius at each turn.
Ordering and Factory Support
Reference the three-leg OS2 configuration of 24FMMCMTPSMF with the intended length and quantity. Supply branch numbering and any special leg-length criteria so the delivered cable can be labeled consistently with your port records. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
