MMC Harness Cables
New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. MMC-to-LC harness cables fan one MMC-16 APC interface out to eight LC UPC duplex legs. OS2 and OM4 versions provide sixteen fibers as eight duplex optical routes, connecting high-density MMC infrastructure directly to LC-equipped switches, servers or patch panels.
A direct alternative to cassette-based fan-out
A harness removes the cassette and its added mated joint, but it does not on its own perform electronic conversion or negotiate lane rates. The active port must expect the corresponding parallel-to-duplex fiber assignment. Cross-check harness polarity and record every LC branch’s transmit and receive destination before deploying the product.
Review MMC and LC performance separately
The detailed specifications list insertion and return loss for every connector type. OS2 and OM4 models have separate fiber and return-loss characteristics; at the same time, the LC ends use UPC polish in the two cases. Submit the selected MMC and LC data in the loss calculation for each full duplex optical path.
Eight branch pairs require orderly routing
Standard full lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with project-specific meter or foot lengths. Place the relevant fan-out where each LC leg reaches without side tension. Number the eight duplex branches before dressing them, support the breakout body and maintain the suitable bend radius.
Ordering and Factory Support
Factory design for this section can cover full length, LC branch numbering, fan-out placement and customer part-number tags. Provide quantities and the intended deployment or test plan with the order. Standard and made-to-order products should be checked against the specification list on arrival, with tags and design records retained for service work. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
