Probably not a splitter. It gets very confused shooting past it (both
our cheap China & the demo Veex).

Could be a bad splice, but if it is a splitter it could just be an
artifact of that. It all depends on the type of splitter you are
using and what wavelength the OTDR is. It also depends what is on
the other ends of the splitter. If that is a splitter with nothing
spliced to one of the ends you can get a reflection off of a dead
end.

Can you have return loss (i.e. reflections) on bad fusion splices?
Attached trace is a splitter showing return loss. It's supposed
to be fusion spliced, not connectorized. There are several of
these on this project. Trying to figure out if contractor snuck
in some incorrect parts or if he's got issues with his fusion
splicer. I'd assume it's bad splices, but maybe coincidentally
the reflectance just happens to be about right for UPC connectors.
