MMC-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness CableMMC-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness 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 OM4 MMC-to-LC harness fans one MMC-16 APC female connector out to eight LC UPC duplex legs. Sixteen bend-insensitive multimode fibers feature eight duplex channels for switches, servers or patch panels. Whereas production-terminated LC branches eliminate the need for a distinct multimode cassette, the single 2.5mm plenum trunk keeps the principal pathway compact.

Direct fan-out for multimode equipment
The completed harness is suitable when a MMC-based parallel interface must connect to LC duplex equipment using OM4. It will not by itself perform electronic conversion or change lane speeds; it features the passive fiber mapping only. Review that the active port expects this breakout arrangement and that every LC leg is assigned to the specified duplex destination.
MMC and LC optical values
Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB at MMC and 0.2dB at LC. Minimum return loss is 40dB for the MMC APC interface and 30dB for LC UPC. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. Use these figures with the transceiver budget and other connections to review each full duplex channel.
Managing eight LC duplex branches
Decide on standard cable lengths of 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) or 3m (10ft), or ask for customized meter and foot lengths. Eight branch pairs need orderly routing to prevent crossed transmit and receive connections. Label the legs before bundling, support the cable fan-out body and retain the 7.5mm minimum fiber bend radius near these optical interfaces.
Ordering and Factory Support
Use 16FMMCLCOM4 with the correct length and quantity. Give your preferred LC branch identifiers and MMC label particulars; the factory may align these markings with the rack’s duplex-port numbering to simplify future moves and diagnostics. Singapore and regional project orders can be reviewed for interface compatibility, packing details and delivery coordination.
