Hello All Should loopback connectors (12-32005-01) or the dust covers be installed in unused Multomode ports in a DECconcentrator 500. The installation documentation is not specific on this. Paul Kirk Dublin MCS

Hello Paul,
To my knowledge you can use the loopback-connectors for test-purposes
(you can see the led's change state; if not you have a problem).
You should use the (black) dust-covers to prevent the FO-connectors
on the concentrator from being contaminated. That could otherwise give you
unwanted attenuation if you decide to use those ports later on.
Cheers,
Bart Rietkerk.

Right. Loopback connectors are not necessary or useful in normal use. But dustcovers should be installed on any unused connector... paul | |||||
