This 16 loopback module provides a compact optical self test for parallel ports. It routes transmit lanes back to the receive lanes inside a rugged housing, so you can verify port function, run burn-in tests and diagnose link faults without a second device.

Loopbacks are used daily in manufacturing test, data center commissioning and RMA diagnosis. This module gives a fast pass/fail indication for multi-fiber ports without needing a second transceiver or a traffic generator.
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.
Please reference LPM-SM-16MTP in your enquiry. Our sales team can also advise on polarity, gender and jacket choices if your project documentation is not final yet.
Most orders leave our facility within a few working days. Courier, air freight and sea freight are all available, and we are happy to hand goods to your nominated forwarder in China.
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.
We do not ship untested product. Each unit is measured on calibrated equipment for optical performance and visually inspected for end face quality before packing. Batch traceability is maintained so any field issue can be tracked back to production.
