Abstract
Measurements of mode power distribution on connectorized single-fibre cables stress the strong influence of launching and propagation conditions on connection loss. The large dispersion in coupling loss values (from 0.43 to 1.13 dB) produced in different conditions by the same connector can be explained on the basis of such measurements.
