Fiber Optic Patch Cord Loss and Fusion Splicing - SMB AI-Systems & High-Speed Interconnect [PDF]
For outside plant work, fusion splicing is almost always the right choice. Mechanical splices are faster for emergency restoration but have higher typical loss (0.2-0.5dB vs. 0.02-0.1dB for fusion) and degrade

Fusion splice connections offer their own set of advantages. Instead of 0.05dB to 0.2dB of loss with a patch connection, a fusion splice normally incurs only between 0.05dB and 0.1dB of loss.
