Customized MMC-24 Trunk Cable, 24-576Customized MMC-24 Trunk Cable, 24-576 Fibers, OS2
New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. This made-to-order MMC-24 trunk uses 24-fiber MMC sub-units to create OS2 backbone assemblies from 24 to 576 fibers. Depending on design, the relevant cable outside diameter ranges from 4.0 to 18.0mm. APC interfaces, G.657.A1 bend-insensitive glass and plenum jacketing suit high-capacity single-mode links where deployment time and panel density are key design constraints.

When a 24-fiber sub-unit is appropriate
MMC-24 design concentrates more fibers into every multi-fiber mounting point than MMC-16, which may reduce the number of sub-units in a large backbone. It additionally changes the relevant fiber map at each termination. The connected panels and hardware patch leads must be specified for the matching 24-fiber organization; otherwise a 24-fiber trunk cannot be made compatible only by changing a label or adapter.
Mechanical planning for high-capacity routes
Across the customizable range, long-term tensile strength is 200–400N and short-term strength is 660–1320N, but the suitable design is established by fiber count. A 576-fiber channel needs separate handling from a 24-fiber cord. Plan tray fill, pulling access, reel handling and the 20/10D dynamic/static bend criteria before selecting the final cable design.
A configuration built from the project drawing
No fixed standard length is assigned to this trunk. Orders are built to the intended meter or foot length and may use trunk or extender polarity. Provide the number of 24-fiber sub-units, connector gender, fan-out dimensions and identification scheme. The 4.0–18.0mm diameter range and fiber-count maximum are product line boundaries, not a promise that each combination has the matching design.
Ordering and Factory Support
Reference XXMMCSMF for the MMC-24 trunk product line and provide the intended length, complete fiber count and port assignment. Our support staff may then cross-check diameter, sub-unit arrangement, pulling criteria and tags before manufacturing the backbone. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
