8-Fiber MPO / MTP® Multimode OM3 Fiber Optical Loopback-ARTIC FIBER TECHNOLOGY

8-Fiber MPO / MTP® Multimode OM3 Fiber Optical Loopback

In response to the demand for optical testing of 40GbE and 100GbE applications, ARTIC has released the 8-fiber MPO / MTP® optical loopback. The device is available in single mode (yellow) or multimode versions (aqua) and incorporates a rigid, premium quality shell for fiber protection and durability. MTP® / MPO loopback is used to test network system in the signal comes back, through the echo signal, can detect the network link in the various potential abnormalities, the test is widely used, in order to ensure the normal network link provides an effective way of testing.
