Home / What is the loss of the fiber optic cable connector

Insertion loss, also known as attenuation, is the loss of optical power that occurs when light passes through a fiber optic connector. It is caused by factors such as misalignment, air gaps, and imperfections in the connector components. To be able to judge whether a fiber optic cable plant is good, one does a insertion loss test with a light source and power meter and compares that to an estimate of what is a reasonable loss for that cable plant. The estimate, called a "loss budget" is calculated using typical component losses for.
