There is a noise coming from the fiber optic splice box
The issue could also be caused by a faulty fusion splice, misalignment or incorrect polarity. 0dB loss due to pressure on the cable or over 10dB loss due to a splitter? It all adds up, and PONs aren't the only thing fiber gets used for. A single imperfect splice can disrupt connectivity for businesses, schools, and homes, causing slow speeds, intermittent outages, and costly downtime. The signal might become weaker, resulting in slower speeds or dropped connections. Use an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) to identify where the signal loss occurs. When stripping and cleaving fiber, fine glass shards can be released that, if not properly cleaned up and disposed of, can lodge in the skin or cause long-term damage to your eyes. To protect yourself, always wear industrial, high-rated safety goggles and shoes that have cut-resistant material in.
