MMC-24 APC to 3 x MTP-8 UPC BreakoutMMC-24 APC to 3 x MTP-8 UPC Breakout Cable, 24 Fibers, OM4
Singapore high-density designs should assess this item together with panel access, cable routing and the complete optical loss allowance. This 24-fiber OM4 breakout pairs an MMC APC female trunk connector with three MTP-8 UPC female branches. This optical assembly addresses multimode fan-out designs that require APC specifically at the MMC interface and UPC at the MTP destinations. Its 2.5mm plenum trunk and factory-controlled branches feature a compact alternative to a cassette and several patch leads.

Identifying the APC-to-UPC configuration
The polish change is intentional and must be matched at every mating point. Do not attempt to connect the UPC branches to APC adapters just for the reason that the housings fit. All four connectors on this assembled cable are female and non-pinned. Examine guide-pin arrangements and document which of the three MTP-8 branches corresponds to each destination in the 24-fiber mapping.
Connector performance and multimode reach
Insertion loss is 0.35dB maximum, with return loss of at least 40dB at the MMC APC end and 27dB at each MTP UPC end. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. These passive specifications should be evaluated with the optics’ power budget and the other mated pairs in the installed optical path.
Length and branch-management guidance
The standard total lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with customized meter or foot lengths obtainable. Allow ample room to pathway three branches without sharply bending one to reach its port. Keep the cable fan-out supported and mark each MTP connector before bundling the legs with other OM4 cables.
Ordering and Factory Support
During the request for 24FMMCMTPOM4, document the three-branch APC-to-UPC variant, total length and quantity. Customized markings may specify the MMC source and three destinations, reducing the chance of confusion with the APC-to-APC variant. Singapore and regional project orders can be reviewed for interface compatibility, packing details and delivery coordination.
