Fiber Optic Connector Insertion Loss Analysis

Home / Fiber Optic Connector Insertion Loss Analysis

Insertion Loss is defined as the reduction in optical power between the input and output of a fiber optic link. It is expressed in decibels (dB) and calculated using the formula: IL = –10 log (Pout / Pin) Where: Lower insertion loss values indicate better optical performance. 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.
