MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC BreakoutMMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 APC Breakout Cable, 16 Fibers, OS2
Singapore high-density designs should assess this item together with panel access, cable routing and the complete optical loss allowance. This OS2 breakout cable terminates a 16-fiber MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 APC Elite female legs. It features a direct single-mode fan-out for parallel-optics links that divide sixteen fibers into two eight-fiber interfaces. Factory-built harness polarity and labeled branches remove the need for a distinct cassette and its extra mated connections.

Mapping one MMC-16 into two MTP-8 legs
The MMC side concentrates all sixteen fibers in one VSFF housing; concurrently, each MTP branch carries eight fibers. This arrangement is proper only when the port and panel design expects the corresponding two-way map. All three connectors are female and non-pinned; consequently, the mating interfaces must feature guide pins. Make sure of the correct APC polish on every leg before connecting this optical assembly.
Loss planning across three connection points
The specified insertion loss is 0.35dB maximum and return loss is at least 60dB. A full channel budget must give the MMC link, the selected MTP branch link and any adapters farther along the pathway. Keeping the two branch identities in the test report and rack records makes it easier to isolate a fault to one eight-fiber channel.
Fan-out placement and standard lengths
Obtainable lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with lengths built to order in feet or meters. Decide on a length that lets the cable fan-out body rest in a supported zone rather than hang from the MMC port. Pathway both MTP legs with gentle bends and avoid loading one branch differently from the other when dressing this optical cable.
Ordering and Factory Support
Ask for 16FMMCMTPSMF in the two-leg OS2 breakout arrangement, stating total length and quantity. If branch markings or unequal leg lengths are needed for a certain rack layout, give a fan-out plan with the enquiry. Singapore and regional project orders can be reviewed for interface compatibility, packing details and delivery coordination.
