StarTech.com Single Mode MPO Loopback Plug - TAA Compliant

The StarTech.com Single Mode MPO Loopback Plug (LOOPBACKMTPSM9125M) is a high-quality, TAA-compliant loopback adapter designed for network testing, transceiver testing, and data center applications. This MPO/MTP male loopback plug features a 12-fiber single mode OS2 configuration with APC (Angled Physical Contact) ferrule, ensuring low insertion loss (≤0.35 dB) and high return loss (≥50 dB). It supports wavelengths of 1310nm and 1550nm, making it ideal for telecommunications and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This loopback plug simplifies testing by providing a compact, reliable loopback path for MPO/MTP interfaces. Its durable high-grade plastic housing withstands over 500 mating cycles, and the polarity Type B (cross-over) design ensures proper signal routing. Compliant with RoHS, TIA/EIA-604-5 (FOCIS 5), and IEC-61754-7 standards, it guarantees performance and reliability.
