Your goal as a technician is to create splices with the lowest possible loss. The two primary methods, fusion and mechanical splicing, yield different typical loss values. Understanding
Multimode Splice Loss
Fiber misalignment is a byproduct of the splicing process and can occur with any splice. Even when splicing identical fibers together, if they are not perfectly aligned, optical power will be lost and
