MMC-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness Cable, 16 Fibers, OM4
For Pakistani procurement and engineering teams, the specification provides a practical basis for checking compatibility before production is requested. 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 include eight duplex routes for switches, servers or patch panels. The single 2.5mm plenum trunk keeps the primary path compact, whereas factory-prepared LC branches eliminate the need for a discrete multimode cassette.

Direct fan-out for multimode equipment
The LC harness is suitable when a MMC-based parallel interface must connect to LC duplex hardware using OM4. It does not by itself perform electronic conversion or change lane speeds; it includes the passive fiber allocation only. Make certain of that the active port expects this breakout arrangement and that each LC leg is assigned to the suitable 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 evaluate every entire duplex connection.
Managing eight LC duplex branches
Identify catalogue lengths of 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) or 3m (10ft), or specify bespoke meter and foot lengths. Eight branch pairs need orderly routing to prevent crossed transmit and receive connections. Label the legs before bundling, support this breakout body body and maintain the 7.5mm minimum fiber bend radius near the optical interfaces.
Ordering and Factory Support
Reference 16FMMCLCOM4 with the project-specific length and number of units. Specify your preferred LC branch identifiers and MMC label specifications; the factory can align these markings with the rack’s duplex-port numbering to simplify future moves and fault finding. For Pakistan, a clear port or maintenance schedule helps us confirm the correct factory-built configuration before supply.
