MMC Jumpers
New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. MMC jumpers provide short, factory-finished connections between high-density multi-fiber interfaces. This section includes MMC-to-MMC patch leads for consistent VSFF channels and MMC-to-MTP versions for transitions to established MTP infrastructure, with sixteen or twenty-four fibers in OM4 or OS2.
Choose by interface before choosing by color
Start with the relevant connector at every end, then cross-check gender, guide pins, fiber count and polish. MMC-to-MTP patch leads solve a form-factor transition but take care never to change gender or automatically compatible polarity. The 24-fiber APC-to-UPC configuration is particularly distinct from its APC-to-APC counterpart and should be ordered only when the optical path requires that combination.
OS2 and OM4 serve different channel designs
OS2 jumpers use single-mode G.657.A1 glass and are specified at 1310/1550nm. OM4 versions use bend-insensitive multimode fiber at 850/1300nm. Connector return-loss data additionally differ by configuration. Match the fiber to the active optics and submit each mated pair in the loss calculation instead of treating all short jumpers as equivalent.
Length and installation planning
The standard jumper lengths listed on this particular product pages are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with project-specific meter and foot lengths offered. Establish a channel that avoids the two tension and excess coils. Retain the specified bend radius, review each ferrule and ensure jumper polarity against the end-to-end link before deploying the product.
Ordering and Factory Support
Factory design for this section can cover length, end tags, connector polarity and gender after the end-to-end link has been reviewed. 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.
