For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. This 16-fiber OM4 breakout uses APC polish at the MMC connector and at the two MTP-8 connectors. One compact MMC female interface fans out to two MTP Elite female interfaces over bend-insensitive multimode fiber. It is designed for parallel optical channels where low-reflection APC connections and a direct two-way fan-out are necessary without intermediate cassette hardware.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to MTP® Female, 16 Fibers

• MMC insertion loss ≤0.35dB, return loss ≥40/45dB (MMC/MTP®)
• Harness Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

Consistent APC interfaces across the assembly

All three interface points use APC polish, making this version distinct from the UPC-branch alternative. The MMC and MTP connectors are female and non-pinned, and every must be paired with the proper pinned mate. review that the active equipment design expects two eight-fiber branches from a sixteen-fiber MMC port and that the link follows harness polarity prior to installation.

Multimode optical performance

This assembly has 0.35dB maximum insertion loss. Minimum return loss is 40dB at the MMC interface and 45dB at the MTP APC interfaces, with OM4 attenuation specified at 850nm and 1300nm. These figures support engineering of the passive connection; they do not override the transceiver manufacturer’s limits for overall connections or fiber distance.

Branch routing and length choices

Standard length options are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with made-to-order lengths in feet or meters. Keep the breakout point accessible for inspection and avoid burying it under a tight bundle. The two MTP legs ought to observe comparable bend and strain conditions, especially where they terminate in adjacent ports on the identical panel.

Ordering and Factory Support

Use part number 16FMMCMTPOM4 and specify the APC-to-APC breakout model when placing an order. Provide total length, unit count and any branch-label scheme; customized fan-out particulars may be reviewed against a simple rack or port diagram. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
