Return loss |
The ratio of reflected power to inserted power. Return
loss is a measure of the signal reflections occurring along
a channel or basic link and is related to various electrical
mismatches along the cabling. This ratio, expressed
in decibels, describes the ratio of optical power reflected
by a component, for instance a connector, to the optical
power introduced to that component.
