What is Return Loss and Insertion Loss
When an optical fiber signal enters or leaves an optical device component (such as an fiber optic connector), the discontinuity and impedance mismatch will cause reflection or echo. The power loss

Multimode MPO and SN-MT Connectors with APC Endface:
The return loss of the 16-fiber mated UPC connectors was measured, and all values ranged between 39 dB and 55 dB, indicating that physical contact was achieved across all fibers.
Factors Influencing the Optical Performance of Fiber Optic
However, each connection introduces a certain amount of insertion and return loss that can impact performance. Such losses are particularly critical at high-speed transmission. Many applications a
Fiber Optic System Testing Tutorial
Return loss (dB) is a measure of how much power is reflected back to the source from all reflective events in the fiber optic link relative to how much power was launched into the link.
