For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. The 16FMMCMTPOM4 APC-to-UPC breakout divides sixteen OM4 fibers from one MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 UPC female branches. It is built for multimode channels that require this precise polish combination. The direct fan-out replaces cassette-based conversion with one factory-tested unit and two unambiguously identifiable eight-fiber routes.

• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

A mixed-polish multimode fan-out

APC at the MMC side and UPC at the two MTP ends must be matched to the surrounding interfaces; this version ought to not be substituted for the APC-to-APC breakout. The female, non-pinned connectors require pinned mates. Because the two MTP branches may serve distinct destination ports, label every branch and record its map before dressing this cable into a manager.

Reflection and insertion-loss values by connector

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB. Return loss is specified individually as at least 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 27dB for the MTP UPC interface. Those figures should be retained in acceptance documentation rather than replaced by a single general-purpose figure. OM4 fiber supports the 850/1300nm multimode link, while reach remains determined by the chosen transceivers.

Installing the two-leg assembly

The standard total lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft); customized meter and foot lengths are offered. Location this fan-out so neither MTP leg is pulled sideways, and respect the 7.5mm optical-fiber bend radius. Clean and examine the MMC and the two MTP ferrules before making the three connections.

Ordering and Factory Support

State 16FMMCMTPOM4 in the APC-to-UPC two-branch model, with length and unit count. For repeat installations, customized branch IDs and a customer part-number label may keep these mixed-polish cables distinct from the APC-to-APC variants. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
