For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. This OS2 breakout cable terminates a 16-fiber MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 APC Elite female legs. It offers a direct single-mode fan-out for parallel-optics links that divide sixteen fibers into two eight-fiber interfaces. Factory-built harness polarity and labeled branches remove the need for a distinct cassette and its extra mated connections.

Specifications

Mapping one MMC-16 into two MTP-8 legs

The MMC side concentrates all sixteen fibers in one VSFF housing, while every MTP branch carries eight fibers. This arrangement is suitable only when the port and panel design expects the identical two-way map. Because all three connectors are female and non-pinned, the mating interfaces must offer guide pins. Confirm the necessary APC polish on each leg before connecting this assembly.

Loss planning across three connection points

The specified insertion loss is 0.35dB maximum and return loss is at least 60dB. A full link budget must provide the MMC interface, the chosen MTP branch interface and any adapters farther along the path. Keeping the two branch identities in the test report and rack records makes it easier to isolate a fault to one eight-fiber route.

Fan-out placement and standard lengths

Offered lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with made-to-order lengths in feet or meters. Select a length that lets this fan-out body rest in a supported region rather than hang from the MMC port. Path the two MTP legs with gentle bends and avoid loading one branch differently from the other when dressing this cable.

Ordering and Factory Support

Specify 16FMMCMTPSMF in the two-leg OS2 breakout setup, stating total length and unit count. If branch identifiers or unequal leg lengths are needed for a specific rack layout, provide a fan-out diagram with the inquiry. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
