USB 2.0 Loopback Plugs

 

For Troubleshooting and Testing USB 2.0 ports.

 

  • Quickest way to verify that your USB 2.0 ports are working correctly
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot and load test the USB functionality of your PC.
  • For use with (and without) compatible PassMark testing software (see below).

 

Complete Diagnostic for USB 2.0 ports

Quick, on-board visual indication

 

By simply plugging in the Loopback plug, you can quickly confirm if the USB port is correctly powered.

 

The Red, Green and Yellow LED’s on the device provides a quick visual indication of I/O activity and if the USB bus is powered.

 

Dramatically improve the troubleshooting and diagnostic ability of computer technicians and system integrators, who previously had no way to confirm the actual output of the USB port.

 

Can also be used to test self-powered USB hubs

In-depth measurements

 

When used with our free USB3Test application (for Windows) or BurnInTest Professional (for Windows) or BurnInTest for Linux, you can run data loopback and benchmark tests.

 

In benchmark mode (Windows only), the device is capable of reaching the maximum defined transfer speed for USB2.0 (480Mbit/sec). Note: Testing has shown that most PCs cannot attain speeds much above 300Mbits/sec and performance will vary depending on your motherboard, CPU and other USB devices connected to the PC.

 

Measure the level of recovered data (retransmitted frames)

Benchmark data transfer

 

Check that data can be sent and received from the port

 

Check USB errors rates and transmission speed (up to 5Gbits/sec ) in Windows

 

Benchmark your PC’s USB port

 

Check if your PC ports are high speed 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0), or full speed 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.x) via a LED

 

 

Stress testing

 

Verify that the system remains stable under long periods of load

 

Up to 32 of these USB test plugs can be simultaneously connected to a PC providing that free USB ports are available on the PC or on a downstream hub and sufficient power is available.

The only true USB 2.0 loop back adapters on the market

 

These test plug devices are unique! They have been especially designed for use with our BurnInTest Professional, BurnIntest for Linux software package or our USB3Test stand-alone application (supplied with device).

 

They do not require an external power supply and do not require a connection to any other port on a PC. Each plug also has its own serial number stored in EPROM on the plug, so they can be individually identified when multiple plugs are connected.

 

Each plug also contains its own CPU and executes its own firmware.
