For Nigerian deployments, this product should be evaluated as part of the complete network path, including its connectors, mapping and acceptance values. This OS2 breakout cable terminates a 16-fiber MMC APC female connector into two MTP-8 APC Elite female legs. It provides a direct single-mode fan-out for parallel-optics links that divide sixteen fibers into two eight-fiber interfaces. Factory-built harness polarity and labeled branches remove the need for an individual cassette and its added mated connections.

Mapping one MMC-16 into two MTP-8 legs
The MMC side concentrates all sixteen fibers in one VSFF housing; at the same time, every MTP branch carries eight fibers. This arrangement is correct only when the port and panel design expects the same two-way allocation. All three connectors are female and non-pinned, which means the mating interfaces must provide guide pins. Validate the needed APC polish on each leg before connecting the completed product.
Loss planning across three connection points
The specified insertion loss is 0.35dB maximum and return loss is at least 60dB. An end-to-end link budget must supply the MMC connection, the selected MTP branch connection and any adapters farther along the route. Keeping the two branch identities in the test report and rack records makes it easier to isolate a fault to one eight-fiber path.
Fan-out placement and standard lengths
Available lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with customized lengths in feet or meters. Specify a length that lets the fan-out body body rest in a supported area rather than hang from the MMC port. Route the two MTP legs with gentle bends and avoid loading one branch differently from the other when dressing the cable assembly.
Ordering and Factory Support
Request 16FMMCMTPSMF in the two-leg OS2 breakout configuration, stating complete length and quantity. If branch labels or unequal leg lengths are needed for an exact rack layout, supply a fan-out drawing with the enquiry. For Nigerian orders, our team can check the requirement before coordinating manufacture and international delivery.
