FAQ

  1. What is an MMC connector?
    The MMC is a Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) connector from US Conec that provides 3× the port density of traditional MPO interfaces.
  2. What’s the difference between OM4 and OS2 versions?
    OM4 is a multimode fiber for short-reach, high-bandwidth links, while OS2 is a single-mode fiber for long-distance transmission.
  3. Is this compatible with MTP/MPO connectors?
    Not directly. MMC and MPO use different interfaces, but hybrid MMC-to-MTP cables are available for migration applications.
  4. What is the typical insertion and return loss?
    Insertion loss ≤ 0.35 dB (max) and return loss ≥ 40–60 dB depending on fiber type and polish.
  5. Can I order custom lengths or colors?
    Yes. Lengths, colors (Magenta, Yellow, Aqua etc.), and labeling can be customized to your project requirements.
  6. What jacket rating does it use?
    Plenum (OFNP), compliant with building fire safety standards for indoor air-handling spaces.
  7. Does HOLIGHT offer OEM/ODM service?
    Yes. We provide OEM/ODM options including logo printing, private labeling, and special packaging.
  8. How is each jumper tested before shipment?
    Each assembly is individually tested for insertion loss, return loss, and visual end-face inspection to ensure consistent performance.
