Abstract:
1. A method for testing a parallel optical transceiver comprising the steps of: providig an optical wrap plug and an electrical wrap plug for connecting in series each of a plurality of parallel receiver and transmitter channels of said parallel optical transceiver; respectively optically connecting each respective channel transmitter to a next respective channel receiver in said series of said plurality of said parallel receiver and transmitter channels using said optical wrap plug; respectively electrically connecting said channel receiver and said channel transmitter of each said parallel receiver and transmitter channels using said electrical wrap plug; applying a predefined data pattern to a first channel of said series connected plurality of parallel receiver and transmitter channels; detecting an output from a last channel of said series connected plurality of parallel receiver and transmitter channels; and comparing said applied predefined data pattern with said output to identify functional operation of said parallel optical transceiver.
