Customized MMC-16 Trunk Cable, 16-384Customized MMC-16 Trunk Cable, 16-384 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 made-to-order MMC-16 trunk is an OS2 backbone item built around MMC connectors based on sixteen-fiber sub-units. Fiber capacity may scale from 16 to 384 fibers, with cable outside diameter from 4.0 to 17.5mm depending on the selected design. G.657.A1 glass, APC polish and an OFNP jacket provide the foundation for project-specific single-mode distribution.

Engineering the fiber count and cable structure
A trunk is not equivalent to only a longer jumper. As fiber count increases, sub-unit arrangement, cable diameter, pulling strength and breakout protection become part of the design. This MMC-16 product line supports trunk or extender polarity and 200–400N long-term tensile ratings, with 660–1320N short-term ratings across the design range. The particular data suitable to an order should be confirmed on its production layout.
Backbone routes and panel coordination
Typical uses submit links between optical distribution frames, hardware rows and high-density MMC panels. Pre-termination enables several fibers to be fitted in one pull and tested before arrival. The relevant panel schedule ought to document each sub-unit, connector polarity and gender transition so the relevant trunk lands correctly. High fiber counts additionally require enough rear cable management and static bend space.
Specifying a made-to-project trunk
There is no assumed stock length for this made-to-order product. Record the channel length in feet or meters, complete fiber count, MMC connector gender, polarity, breakout lengths, jacket criteria and identification. Pulling eyes or other deployment protection can be discussed where the pathway requires them. Length, diameter and tensile design are confirmed as one system rather than selected on its own.
Ordering and Factory Support
Use XXMMCSMF as the MMC-16 trunk product line reference and attach a fiber schedule or layout. A helpful enquiry includes polarity, deployment conditions, length, fiber count, sub-unit allocation and connector gender, allowing the factory to reference the compatible engineered item. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
