IPC-LOOPBACK-MISS
Default Severity: Minor (MI), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

The Internal Patchcord Connection (IPC) Loopback Miss alarm is raised when the MF-DEG-5-CV,
MF-UPG-4-CV, or MF-M16LC-CV modules contain one or more than one disconnected port (port without
a patchcord cord or loopback cap). These passive modules are provided with loopback cap on disconnected
ports in order to pre-test all possible optical paths inside the node. The uninstalled loopback will raise the
alarm.
A false IPC-LOOPBACK-MISS alarm is raised if, a fibre inside an MPO has a very high insertion loss.
