MMC-24 APC to MTP-24 UPC Jumper, 24MMC-24 APC to MTP-24 UPC Jumper, 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. The 24FMMCMTPOM4 jumper combines a 24-fiber MMC APC female interface with a 24-fiber MTP UPC female interface. This mixed-polish OM4 item is specified for channels that specifically require APC at the MMC side and UPC at the MTP side. It is not equivalent to interchangeable with the APC-to-APC configuration, even though the two products share the matching fiber count and connector families.

Why the polish combination matters
APC and UPC end faces have separate geometry and reflection behavior. They ought to never be forced as one system in a mating adapter. This jumper deliberately places APC on the MMC connector and UPC on the MTP Elite connector; therefore, the surrounding optical path must present the matching APC and UPC interfaces. Checking the polish at every end is as important as confirming 24-fiber compatibility.
Twenty-four fibers in a compact route
One 2.5mm OFNP jumper carries all 24 fibers, reducing cable bulk compared with twelve duplex patch leads. The two connectors are female and non-pinned, and factory jumper polarity controls the internal assignment. The MMC side provides at least 40dB return loss; the UPC MTP side is rated at 20dB minimum, with 0.35dB maximum insertion loss for this manufactured assembly.
Ordering and installing the correct version
Standard choices are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), plus project-built lengths in feet or meters. Document this APC-to-UPC configuration in clear terms in rack documentation to distinguish it from APC-to-APC patch leads. During physical installation, review the ferrules, adhere to the key orientation and maintain the 7.5mm minimum optical-fiber bend radius around the MMC and MTP boots.
Ordering and Factory Support
Reference 24FMMCMTPOM4 and explicitly cross-check the APC-to-UPC requirement, length and quantity. A simple port schedule showing the MMC and MTP mating interfaces will help prevent an accidental substitution with the APC-to-APC configuration. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
