For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. This OM4 model of the MMC-16 to MMC-16 jumper carries sixteen multimode fibers between two APC female MMC connectors. While bend-insensitive OM4 glass supports 850/1300nm multimode links, its 2.5mm magenta-series plenum build is suited to dense in-rack and row-level cabling. The factory-built design removes field polishing from a sixteen-fiber deployment.

Specifications

A compact multimode patching interface

This jumper is intended for MMC-based panels and hardware interfaces that need sixteen fibers in one small interface. The two cable ends are non-pinned females and must mate with the suitable pinned interface. Compared with breaking the connection into eight distinct duplex patch cords, a single MMC jumper may simplify dressing and port identification, provided the connected hardware is designed around the identical fiber mapping.

OM4 loss and reflection values

Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB and minimum return loss is 40dB for this OM4 APC unit. The specified attenuation is 2.3dB/km at 850nm and 0.6dB/km at 1300nm. These are cable and connector characteristics, not a promise of transceiver reach; the permissible connection length still is determined by the optical module, wavelength and overall number of mated connections.

Choosing the length and managing the boot

Offered standard length options are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), and customized meter or foot lengths may be manufactured. Choose a length that reaches the path without leaving a tight coil behind this panel. Preserve the 7.5mm minimum optical-fiber bend radius and follow the stated cable bend limits, especially where multiple VSFF jumpers share one manager.

Ordering and Factory Support

When placing an order 16FMMCOM4, state the length, unit count and any project identifiers. If the connection includes MMC-to-MTP patch cords or a breakout elsewhere, send the link diagram so fiber mode and polarity may be checked as one setup. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
