It can happen during splicing, connecting, or from extra parts. This loss is often caused by misalignment, dirt, or bad connectors. Attenuation is the slow loss of signal strength over distance

The attenuation of the optical fiber is a result of two factors, absorption and scattering. The absorption is caused by the absorption of the light and conversion to heat by molecules in the glass.
