MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC BreakoutMMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OM4
Singapore high-density designs should assess this item together with panel access, cable routing and the complete optical loss allowance. This 16-fiber OM4 breakout uses APC polish at the MMC connector and at both MTP-8 connectors. One compact MMC female interface fans out to two MTP Elite female interfaces over bend-insensitive multimode fiber. It is specified for parallel optical channels where low-reflection APC connections and a direct two-way fan-out are correct without intermediate cassette hardware.

Consistent APC interfaces across the assembly
All three link points use APC polish, making the specified model distinct from the UPC-branch alternative. The MMC and MTP connectors are female and non-pinned, and each must be paired with the specified pinned mate. During pre-installation checks, examine that the active hardware design expects two eight-fiber branches from a sixteen-fiber MMC port and that the path follows harness polarity.
Multimode optical performance
This optical assembly has 0.35dB maximum insertion loss. Minimum return loss is 40dB at the MMC interface and 45dB at the MTP APC interfaces, with OM4 attenuation specified at 850nm and 1300nm. These figures support engineering of the passive channel; they do not attempt to override the transceiver manufacturer’s limits for overall connections or fiber distance.
Branch routing and length choices
Standard cable lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with lengths built to order in feet or meters. Keep the breakout point accessible for inspection and avoid burying it under a tight bundle. Both MTP legs should adhere to analogous bend and strain conditions, especially where they terminate in adjacent ports on the corresponding panel.
Ordering and Factory Support
Use part number 16FMMCMTPOM4 and specify the APC-to-APC breakout variant when requesting production. Give total length, quantity and any branch-label scheme; customized fan-out particulars may also be reviewed against a simple rack or port plan. Singapore and regional project orders can be reviewed for interface compatibility, packing details and delivery coordination.
