12core MTP® Multimode Loopback Aqua connector 3DB

Product Overview:

The 12-core MTP® UPC Multimode Loopback Module is a compact, high-density optical testing device used to validate the performance of fiber optic links in data centers and high-speed networks. Designed with an MTP®/MPO female interface, this loopback features 12-core multimode fiber with customizable attenuation, allowing users to simulate real-world signal loss during network testing and troubleshooting. Housed in a durable casing and terminated with an Aqua-colored connector (OM3/OM4 compatibility), it is ideal for testing 40G/100G/200G multimode fiber links.
