For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. This 24-fiber OM4 breakout pairs an MMC APC female trunk connector with three MTP-8 UPC female branches. This assembly addresses multimode fan-out designs that require APC specifically at the MMC interface and UPC at the MTP destinations. Its 2.5mm plenum trunk and factory-controlled branches offer a compact alternative to a cassette and several patch patch cords.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to MTP® Female, 24 Fibers
• OM4 50/125μm, bend-insensitive fiber
• MMC insertion loss ≤0.35dB, return loss ≥40/27dB (MMC/MTP®)
• Harness Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

Identifying the APC-to-UPC configuration

The polish change is intentional and must be matched at each mating point. Because the housings fit, do not connect the UPC branches to APC adapters simply. All four connectors on the cable are female and non-pinned. Review guide-pin arrangements and document which of the three MTP-8 branches corresponds to every destination in the 24-fiber mapping.

Connector performance and multimode reach

Insertion loss is 0.35dB maximum, with return loss of at least 40dB at the MMC APC end and 27dB at every MTP UPC end. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. These passive specifications should be evaluated with the optics’ power budget and the other mated pairs in the installed optical channel.

Length and branch-management guidance

The standard total lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with customized meter or foot lengths offered. Allow sufficient room to path three branches without sharply bending one to reach its port. Keep this fan-out supported and mark every MTP connector before bundling the legs with other OM4 cables.

Ordering and Factory Support

When ordering 24FMMCMTPOM4, state the three-branch APC-to-UPC version, total length and unit count. Customized identifiers may specify the MMC source and three destinations, reducing the chance of confusion with the APC-to-APC model. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
