MMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 UPC BreakoutMMC-16 APC to 2 x MTP-8 UPC 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. The 16FMMCMTPOM4 APC-to-UPC breakout divides sixteen OM4 fibers from one MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 UPC female branches. It is built for multimode channels that require this specific polish combination. The direct fan-out replaces cassette-based conversion with one factory-tested product and two in a clear manner identifiable eight-fiber channels.

A mixed-polish multimode fan-out
APC at the MMC connector interface and UPC at both MTP ends must correspond to the surrounding interfaces; the specified model should not be substituted for the APC-to-APC breakout. The female, non-pinned connectors require pinned mates. Because the two MTP branches may serve differing destination ports, label each leg and record its map before dressing this optical cable into a manager.
Reflection and insertion-loss values by connector
Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB. Return loss is specified separately as at least 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 27dB for the MTP UPC interface. Those figures should be retained in acceptance documentation rather than replaced by a single generic rating. OM4 fiber supports the 850/1300nm multimode path; concurrently, reach remains determined by the selected transceivers.
Installing the two-leg assembly
The standard total lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft); customized meter and foot lengths are obtainable. Slot the cable fan-out so neither MTP leg is pulled sideways, and respect the 7.5mm optical-fiber bend radius. Clean and check the MMC and both MTP ferrules before making the three connections.
Ordering and Factory Support
Document 16FMMCMTPOM4 in the APC-to-UPC two-branch variant, with length and quantity. For repeat installations, customized branch IDs and a customer part-number label may keep these mixed-polish cables distinct from the APC-to-APC variants. Singapore and regional project orders can be reviewed for interface compatibility, packing details and delivery coordination.
