For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. This MMC-16 to MTP-16 jumper connects two distinct multi-fiber form factors over sixteen OM4 fibers. The MMC side and MTP Elite end are the two APC female, and the bend-insensitive multimode cable uses a 2.5mm plenum jacket. It offers a direct, compact patching choice between MMC infrastructure and installed MTP-16 multimode hardware.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to MTP® Female, 16 Fibers

• Jumper Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

Practical role in a multimode channel

This assembly suits migrations where MMC panels are being introduced without replacing each MTP-based interface. A single factory-built jumper avoids an extra adapter pair that would otherwise be needed to convert form factors. It remains essential to review that the active hardware or cassette presents the proper pinned mates and that the link requires APC at the two ends.

Connector-specific return-loss requirements

The MMC interface is specified for at least 40dB return loss, while the MTP APC interface is specified for at least 45dB; maximum insertion loss across this assembly is 0.35dB. Keeping distinct connector figures in the documentation makes fault finding more meaningful. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm, with actual setup reach set by the optics.

Installation length and cable care

Select from 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft) standard versions, or specify a customized meter or foot length. Do not pull this assembly by either connector boot during routing. Support the 2.5mm cable through the manager, keep the 7.5mm fiber bend allowance and keep dust caps fitted until the two end faces have been inspected.

Ordering and Factory Support

Order by part number 16FMMCMTPOM4 with length and unit count. Customized identifiers may specify the MMC and MTP ends individually, which is helpful when multiple transition patch cords occupy the identical panel; specify this identification when submitting the order. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
