For Nigerian deployments, this product should be evaluated as part of the complete network path, including its connectors, mapping and acceptance values. This 24-fiber OM4 breakout pairs an MMC APC female trunk connector with three MTP-8 UPC female branches. The completed product 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 provide a compact alternative to a cassette and various patch cords.

Identifying the APC-to-UPC configuration
The polish change is intentional and must be matched at each mating point. Do not connect the UPC branches to APC adapters merely as the housings fit. All four connectors on the cable assembly are female and non-pinned. Confirm guide-pin arrangements and document which of the three MTP-8 branches corresponds to every destination in the 24-fiber assignment.
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 must be evaluated with the optics’ power budget and the other mated pairs in the completed channel.
Length and branch-management guidance
The standard complete lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft), with project-specific meter or foot lengths available. Allow enough room to route three branches without sharply bending one to reach its port. Keep the fan-out body supported and mark every MTP connector before bundling the legs with other OM4 cables.
Ordering and Factory Support
At the request stage 24FMMCMTPOM4, define the three-branch APC-to-UPC model, complete length and quantity. Project-specific labels might document the MMC source and three destinations, reducing the chance of confusion with the APC-to-APC version. For Nigerian orders, our team can check the requirement before coordinating manufacture and international delivery.
