For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. This OM4 MMC-to-LC harness fans one MMC-16 APC female connector out to eight LC UPC duplex legs. Sixteen bend-insensitive multimode fibers offer eight duplex routes for switches, servers or patch panels. The single 2.5mm plenum trunk keeps the primary path compact, while factory-built LC branches eliminate the need for a distinct multimode cassette.

Specifications

Direct fan-out for multimode equipment

This harness is suitable when a MMC-based parallel interface must connect to LC duplex hardware using OM4. It does not perform electronic conversion or change lane speeds; it offers the passive fiber mapping only. Verify that the active port expects this breakout arrangement and that each LC leg is assigned to the proper duplex destination.

MMC and LC optical values

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB at MMC and 0.2dB at LC. Minimum return loss is 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 30dB for LC UPC. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. Use these figures with the transceiver budget and other connections to evaluate every entire duplex connection.

Managing eight LC duplex branches

Select standard length options of 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) or 3m (10ft), or specify customized meter and foot lengths. Eight branch pairs need orderly routing to prevent crossed transmit and receive connections. Label the legs before bundling, support this fan-out body and maintain the 7.5mm minimum fiber bend radius near these connectors.

Ordering and Factory Support

Reference 16FMMCLCOM4 with the necessary length and unit count. Provide your preferred LC branch identifiers and MMC label particulars; the factory may align these markings with the rack’s duplex-port numbering to simplify future moves and fault finding. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
