Abstract
Optical and mechanical precision measurements required to achieve insertion losses below 0.4 dB with biconic multi and single-mode connectors are described. Connector losses depend on the measurement procedure, and in case of multimode connectors, may also depend on the direction of propagation and the modal power distribution existing at the connection point.
