MMC-24 APC to 3 x MTP-8 UPC BreakoutMMC-24 APC to 3 x MTP-8 UPC Breakout Cable, 24 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 24-fiber OM4 breakout pairs an MMC APC female trunk connector with three MTP-8 UPC female branches. This manufactured assembly addresses multimode fan-out designs that require APC specifically at the MMC interface and UPC at the MTP destinations. Its 2.5mm plenum trunk and factory-controlled branches provide a compact alternative to a cassette and several patch patch leads.

Identifying the APC-to-UPC configuration
The polish change is intentional and must be matched at each mating point. Take care never to connect the UPC branches to APC adapters only given that the housings fit. All four connectors on the relevant cable are female and non-pinned. Evaluate guide-pin arrangements and document which of the three MTP-8 branches corresponds to every destination in the 24-fiber assignment.
Connector performance and multimode reach
Insertion loss is 0.35dB maximum, with return loss of at least 40dB at the MMC APC end and 27dB at every MTP UPC end. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. These passive specifications should be evaluated with the optics’ power budget and the other mated pairs in the operational channel.
Length and branch-management guidance
The standard full lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with project-specific meter or foot lengths offered. Allow adequate room to channel three branches without sharply bending one to reach its port. Keep the relevant fan-out supported and mark every MTP connector before bundling the legs with other OM4 cables.
Ordering and Factory Support
When requisitioning 24FMMCMTPOM4, record the three-branch APC-to-UPC configuration, full length and quantity. Project-specific tags may document the MMC source and three destinations, reducing the chance of confusion with the APC-to-APC configuration. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
