Another technique is fusion splicing, where the fibers are fused together, e.g. using an electrical arc. This leads to particularly low insertion loss and high return loss, if the two fiber cores are similar. For

Any loss higher than a .8 dB after 5 repeated attempts results in the replacement and re-splicing of that pigtail. A reflectance measurement of no less than –50 dB (-55, -60...etc...) is required for
