MTP-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness, 16 Fibers, OS2, Crossover
One MTP®-16 Female with Offset Key harness replaces a cassette, two patch cords and the loss that comes with them. OS2 9/125μm fiber and Plenum (OFNP) jacket, built and tested end to end in our own facility.
Standard lengths are 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft) and 40m (131ft). Because we are the manufacturer, any other length between or beyond these steps can be produced on request, with your choice of jacket color, labeling and packaging.

Applications
Where a cassette would normally convert MPO to LC, this harness does the same job in one piece. The 16-fiber interface matches 400G SR8 optics, where all 16 fibers carry active transmit and receive lanes. Fewer mated pairs means better loss budget and fewer failure points.
LC Legs and Port Mapping
The harness replaces a cassette with a direct optical path from the MPO connector to each LC pair. This removes two mated connections from the channel, improving both loss budget and reliability. Custom leg lengths and labels are available on request.
Ordering Information
To order, quote 16FMTPLCSMF together with the length and quantity you need. The 1m (3ft) version is the standard model; Private labeling, custom packaging and project specific documentation are all handled in-house.
Quality and Testing
Our test routine covers insertion loss, return loss and ferrule end face inspection on every assembly. Because testing is done in-house, custom variants receive exactly the same verification as standard models.
Built to Your Spec
Our engineering team handles custom MPO/MTP assemblies daily. If the standard configuration does not match your link design, send us the requirement and we will build exactly what your network needs at factory-direct cost.
How We Pack
Every cable is protected with dust caps and individual packaging before being boxed for shipment. Batch test reports and your own part number labels can be included in each bag.
