Multimode Splice Loss
Core diameter and numerical aperture contribute the most to real splice loss, while differences in the scattering coefficients can contribute to a higher measured power loss, or even a power gain.
Is That Splice Really Good Enough? Improving Fiber Optic Splice
A review of currently available standards related to optical fiber splicing and splice loss measurements revealed that they do not adequately address the very low splice loss specifications
Factors affecting fiber splice loss and how to reduce it
Fiber splice loss is caused by core mismatch, contamination, and misalignment. Reduce loss with proper cleaning, alignment, and splicing techniques.
The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics
Splice loss this high is unusual - automatic fusion splicers rarely show splices >0.2dB, so something is seriously wrong. If you check other fibers in that splice closure, you can do some troubleshooting
