Description

StarTech LOOPBACKMTP12OS2SMF MPO/MTP OS2 Fiber Loopback Test Plug

Overview

The StarTech LOOPBACKMTP12OS2SMF is a single-mode OS2 fiber optic loopback plug designed to test MPO/MTP male connectors. This device simulates a fiber optic link by connecting to a port and looping the signal back to itself, allowing for verification of port functionality and signal integrity without requiring a full cable run. It is essential for troubleshooting network equipment and verifying the transmit and receive paths on network interface cards (NICs) or transceivers.

Compatibility

This loopback plug is specifically designed for MPO-12 female ports and is intended to test MPO/MTP male connectors. It is compatible with OS2 single-mode 9/125µm fiber optic systems. Use this plug to test equipment with MPO/MTP male ports found in high-density fiber optic networks, data centers, and telecommunications infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The plug features a low insertion loss of less than 0.35dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation during testing. It is rated for 1,000 testing cycles, providing durability for repeated use. The operating and storage temperature range is -40°C to 75°C, suitable for various deployment environments. The housing is constructed from ABS for durability.
