MMC-16 APC to 8 x LC UPC Harness Cable, 16 Fibers, OM4
For Tanzanian site work, correct product selection should be followed by careful transport, connector inspection and retention of the fiber records. 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 incorporate eight duplex routes for switches, servers or patch panels. The single 2.5mm plenum trunk keeps the primary path compact, whereas factory-assembled LC branches eliminate the need for a separate multimode cassette.

Direct fan-out for multimode equipment
The installed harness is suitable when a MMC-based parallel interface must connect to LC duplex equipment using OM4. It does not automatically perform electronic conversion or change lane speeds; it offers the passive fiber map only. Ensure that the active port expects this breakout arrangement and that every LC leg is assigned to the correct 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 each complete duplex connection.
Managing eight LC duplex branches
Select standard offerings of 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) or 3m (10ft), or order custom meter and foot lengths. Eight branch pairs need orderly routing to prevent crossed transmit and receive connections. Label the legs before bundling, support the branch point body and preserve the 7.5mm minimum fiber bend radius near the installed connectors.
Ordering and Factory Support
Quote 16FMMCLCOM4 with the requested length and number of units. Set out your preferred LC branch identifiers and MMC label details; the factory can align these markings with the rack’s duplex-port numbering to simplify future moves and fault finding. For Tanzanian deliveries, the order details should include any site identification needed by the installation team.
