Our 12 loopback module is a simple, reliable tool for validating multi-fiber ports before go-live. The internal fiber path is factory measured, and the housing is small enough to keep in every field toolkit.

Typical uses are switch and NIC port validation in production, burn-in testing before shipment, troubleshooting suspect links in the field, and verifying cabling channels end to end. It lets a single technician confirm that a parallel port transmits and receives correctly on every lane.
A loopback contains no electronics: it simply connects transmit fibers to receive fibers inside the housing. The port under test sees its own signal returned, so link indicators and diagnostics behave as if a far-end device were connected. Always check the required attenuation for high power interfaces.
To order, quote LPM-SM-12MPO together with the length and quantity you need. Private labeling, custom packaging and project specific documentation are all handled in-house.
Our engineering team handles custom MPO/MTP assemblies daily. If the standard configuration does not match your link design, send us the requirement and we will build exactly what your network needs at factory-direct cost.
Every MPO/MTP assembly leaving our factory is 100% tested for insertion loss and return loss, with end face geometry checks on the multi-fiber ferrules. Controlled polishing keeps the loss budget stable across the whole batch, which matters when several mated pairs sit in one link.
Each assembly is coiled, capped and sealed in an individual bag, then packed into foam lined export cartons. Test reports can be attached per unit or per batch, and carton marks follow your shipping instructions.
