For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. The 24FMMCMTPOM4 jumper combines a 24-fiber MMC APC female interface with a 24-fiber MTP UPC female interface. This mixed-polish OM4 unit is intended for channels that specifically require APC at the MMC side and UPC at the MTP side. It is not interchangeable with the APC-to-APC model, even though the two products share the identical fiber count and connector families.

Product Highlights

• MMC Female to MTP® Female, 24 Fibers
• OM4 50/125μm, bend-insensitive fiber
• MMC insertion loss ≤0.35dB, return loss ≥40/20dB (MMC/MTP®)
• Jumper Polarity wiring scheme
• 2.5mm Plenum (OFNP) cable
• Standard length options: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft)

Specifications

Why the polish combination matters

APC and UPC end faces have distinct geometry and reflection behavior. They ought to never be forced jointly in a mating adapter. Because this jumper deliberately places APC on the MMC connector and UPC on the MTP Elite connector, the surrounding link must present the matching APC and UPC interfaces. Checking the polish at every end is as important as confirming 24-fiber compatibility.

Twenty-four fibers in a compact route

One 2.5mm OFNP jumper carries all 24 fibers, reducing cable bulk compared with twelve duplex patch cords. The two connectors are female and non-pinned, and factory jumper polarity controls the internal mapping. The MMC side offers at least 40dB return loss; the UPC MTP side is rated at 20dB minimum, with 0.35dB maximum insertion loss for this assembly.

Ordering and installing the correct version

Standard choices are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), plus made-to-order lengths in feet or meters. Specify this APC-to-UPC version unambiguously in rack documentation to distinguish it from APC-to-APC patch cords. While installing, examine the ferrules, observe the key orientation and maintain the 7.5mm minimum optical-fiber bend radius around the MMC and MTP boots.

Ordering and Factory Support

Reference 24FMMCMTPOM4 and explicitly verify the APC-to-UPC need, length and unit count. A simple port plan showing the MMC and MTP mating interfaces will help prevent an accidental substitution with the APC-to-APC version. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
