MPO Loopback

MPO 8F/12F/24F OM5 2.0mm Fiber Optic Loopback with Pull Tab

The BWNFiber MPO OM5 2.0 mm Fiber Optic Loopback with Pull Tab is designed for wideband multimode parallel-optics testing where panel density limits access. Available in 8F, 12F and 24F, it provides an OM5 optical return path with an integrated pull tab for easier insertion and removal. This combination supports efficient verification of OM5 MPO interfaces during production, commissioning and maintenance without relying on temporary trunk cables. Each assembly is 100% factory optically tested.

Selection Guidance

  • Optical grade is the same OM5 class as the standard-housing version; the pull-tab version adds an extraction feature for dense panels.
  • Polarity and gender/pin configuration are confirmed per customer requirement at inquiry or order stage.
  • Do not use on OM4 ports if test conditions must strictly match the link grade — use the OM4 series instead.
  • Full selection context is available on the parent Fiber Optic Loopback Series page.

Applications

  • OM5 parallel optics and high-density panel testing
  • 100G / 400G short-reach multimode module verification
  • Data-center racks requiring frequent mate/demate
  • Production QA for OM5-enabled equipment
  • Field diagnostics on wideband multimode MPO ports

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between standard OM5 and pull-tab OM5 loopbacks?

Optical grade is the same OM5 class; the pull-tab version adds an extraction feature for dense panels.

Can I use this on OM4 ports?

It is specified for OM5 interfaces. For OM4 ports, use the OM4 MPO loopback series to keep test conditions aligned with the link grade.

Which fiber count should I order?

Match the MPO interface under test (commonly 8F, 12F or 24F).

Is custom polarity available?

Yes. Polarity and pin configuration are confirmed with the customer at inquiry/order stage.
