What is Return Loss?

When light hits the end of a fiber optic cable, a portion of it can bounce back towards the source.  This is known as Back Reflection and it can cause a few different problems.  Return Loss is the term for how much the end of a cable cuts down on Back Reflection.

You want as much Return Loss as possible.
