For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. The 16FMMCMTPSMF jumper offers a direct transition from a compact MMC-16 APC female connector to an MTP-16 APC Elite female connector. Sixteen OS2 G.657.A1 fibers run through the 2.5mm OFNP cable, allowing newer MMC infrastructure to connect with established MTP-based panels or hardware without adding a cassette between the two interfaces.

Product Highlights

• OS2 9/125μm, G.657.A1
• MMC insertion loss ≤0.35dB, return loss ≥60dB
• Jumper Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

Using the MMC-to-MTP transition

This cord is practical when one side of a link has adopted VSFF MMC connectivity and the other remains MTP-16. It reduces the number of intermediate components, but it does not change this connector gender: the two ends are female and non-pinned. Verify that the mating MMC and MTP interfaces supply guide pins and that the two sides use APC polish prior to installation.

One jumper, two connector form factors

Although the optical fiber count is the identical at the two ends, the MMC and MTP housings have distinct physical dimensions and keying features. Installers ought to specify every end before routing so the proper connector reaches the proper panel. Factory jumper polarity defines the fiber mapping across this assembly; any extra trunk or adapter must maintain the intended transmit-to-receive routes.

Length selection and single-mode verification

The standard range is 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with made-to-order lengths in feet or meters. Insertion loss is limited to 0.35dB and return loss is at least 60dB. Production testing should be complemented by incoming end-face inspection, because dust on either the MMC or MTP ferrule may compromise an otherwise correctly manufactured transition cord.

Ordering and Factory Support

Reference 16FMMCMTPSMF and state the necessary length and unit count. For mixed MMC/MTP channels, provide the active equipment and panel connector genders in your inquiry so the factory may flag any interface mismatch before the patch cords are built. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
