A telecommunications enclosure includes a housing for retaining
telecommunication lines therein, the housing including at least one of a
splice closure and a terminal closure. At least one of the terminal
closure and the splice closure includes a loopback testing station having
at least one coupling mounted therein. The coupling is adapted to receive
a first terminated end of a first telecommunication line and adapted to
receive a second terminated end of a second telecommunication line. The
testing station permits loss testing of installed distribution lines at a
terminal from a central network facility.
