What splice loss do you fix? For the most part we don’t see a lot of splices on the OTDR. The ones we do see are usually under 0.2dB. I can’t say I have a standard where we would truck roll at this point. Curious what others use. And do you modify that value when splicing ribbon (since it’s much more intrusive to resplice).
