The optical splitter is by far the most significant contributor to loss. For example, a typical 1 x 32 optical splitter may have an insertion loss ranging from 17 dB to 18 dB.

Optical Fiber Loss and Attenuation | MEETOPTICS Academy
Attenuation refers to the amount of signal loss as it travels down the fiber, typically expressed in dB/km. Losses can be caused by scattering, absorption, dispersion & bending.

Attenuation In Optical Fibers And Calculation
For multimode fiber, the typical attenuation at 1550 nm is around 0.5 dB/km, while at 1310 nm, it is around 0.7 dB/km. These values are general estimates, and the actual attenuation can vary

Optical splitters introduce a large attenuation, a 1:2 splitter introduces as much attenuation as an optical fiber about 10 km long (>3dB). The existence of an optical splitter on the display of OTDR shows as a

Understanding Optical Splitter Loss
Insertion loss tells you how much weaker the signal becomes after passing through the splitter. Let''s say you have a laser output at 0 dBm (which is 1 milliwatt of optical power).
