Two primary methods dominate insertion loss testing: direct testing using a light source and power meter and indirect testing using Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR). Insertion loss is usually shortened to IL, and the unit of measurement for insertion loss is dBm. Think of it as the "toll" your signal pays every time it hits a junction—too high, and your data crawls instead of flying.

Optical Return Loss (ORL) is the ratio between the light launched into a device and the light reflected by a defined length or region. ORL can be measured using two measurement techniques: optical continuous wave reflectometry (OCWR) or optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR). the reflection above the fiber backscatter level, relative to the source pulse, is called reflectance. As shown in the figures above, the OCWR Testing setup for reflectance or return loss tests of connectors or passive fiber components per industry standards (TIA FOTP-107 or IEC 61300-3-6) using a light source.
