Testing for loss (also called "insertion loss") requires measuring the optical power lost in a cable (including fiber attenuation, connector loss and splice loss) with a fiber optic light source and power
Everything you need to know about Fiber Optic Testing
Testing for loss requires measuring the optical power lost in a cable (including connectors,splices, etc.) with a fiber optic source and power meter by mating the cable being tested to known good reference
