Our MTP®-16 Female with Offset Key harness cable gives you a direct MTP to LC duplex connection without any intermediate hardware. 16 Fibers on OS2 9/125μm fiber with Plenum (OFNP) jacket, with each LC leg labeled for fast port mapping.
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
Install this harness between an MPO trunk or panel and LC based transceivers. The 16-fiber interface matches 400G SR8 optics, where all 16 fibers carry active transmit and receive lanes. The labeled duplex legs make it easy to land each pair on the correct port.
LC Legs and Port Mapping
Every LC duplex leg is factory polished and tested individually, with return loss well above the multimode or single mode requirement. The fan-out is compact and strain relieved, and the leg numbering matches the polarity table for error-free patching.
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.
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.
Built to Your Spec
We have manufactured fiber optic assemblies since 1995. MPO and MTP cabling is one of our core lines: fiber counts from 8 to 144, single mode and multimode, UPC and APC polish, trunk, jumper, harness and breakout formats. Send your drawing and we turn it into a ready to install assembly.
