MMC-24 APC to 3 x MTP-8 UPC Breakout Cable, 24 Fibers, OM4
For Pakistani procurement and engineering teams, the specification provides a practical basis for checking compatibility before production is requested. This 24-fiber OM4 breakout pairs an MMC APC female trunk connector with three MTP-8 UPC female branches. The terminated 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 include a compact alternative to a cassette and numerous patch patch cords.

Identifying the APC-to-UPC configuration
The polish change is intentional and must be matched at each mating point. Make sure not to connect the UPC branches to APC adapters simply since the housings fit. All four connectors on the completed cable are female and non-pinned. Assess guide-pin arrangements and document which of the three MTP-8 branches corresponds to every destination in the 24-fiber allocation.
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 every MTP UPC end. OM4 attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. These passive specifications ought to be evaluated with the optics’ power budget and the other mated pairs in the channel in service.
Length and branch-management guidance
The standard entire lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with bespoke meter or foot lengths offered. Allow sufficient room to path three branches without sharply bending one to reach its port. Keep this breakout body supported and mark every MTP connector before bundling the legs with other OM4 cables.
Ordering and Factory Support
When specifying 24FMMCMTPOM4, indicate the three-branch APC-to-UPC version, entire length and number of units. Bespoke identifiers can mark the MMC source and three destinations, reducing the chance of confusion with the APC-to-APC model. For Pakistan, a clear port or maintenance schedule helps us confirm the correct factory-built configuration before supply.
