Optical LC Loopback assemblies offer a rugged and compact test solution

Molex's family of LC Loopback assemblies provides a stable and convenient means for testing optical SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) and SFF (Small Form Factor) devices in numerous applications. The rugged and compact design of the loopback assembly incorporates a contoured grip/handle which allows for easy installation and removal. A durable thumb latch and a compact size allows for installation in ganged and belly-to-belly applications with no interference. Molex loopback assemblies are available in singlemode, multimode 50/125µm and multimode 62.5/125µm fiber sizes. Loopback assemblies are only sold as assemblies
