Copper Loopbacks

HSSDC

HSSDC (High Speed Serial Data Connection) Loopback is a loopback adapter plug for testing and diagnostics with high speed networks and system protocols. Specifically designed to support copper implementation of Fibre Channel and other serial data applications which require extremely high data transfer rates over long distances.

Approved by the ANSI X3T11 committee for Fibre Channel in December 1995, and by the ANSI X3T10.1 for Serial Storage Architecture in September 1996, the interconnection system is also included in the new IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet standard.
