Fiber optic fushion splicers; NIST calibration or not?

Is the theory that we can verify the manufacturer’s claims of insertion loss on a fiber splice with OPM’s and OTDR’s valid?

I am looking for splicer manufacturers/distributors, to participate in a series of tests that would validate the theory, that a NIST traceable calibration/verification on the Insertion loss of a fiber splice is sound. If you have a demo unit, and want to be included, email me or call… Jon Winchester, jwinchester@custom-cal.com 541.245.3992
