The total measured power loss of a fiber optic, point to point, span or link. The loss is the result of intrinsic attenuation plus extrinsic discontinuities in a fiber optic cable. Link Loss is wavelength dependent and measured in decibels per kilometer or dB/km.

EXFO's Be-an-Expert Program has produced the world's first animated glossary of fiber optic terms. Including concise definitions and animated sequences, this tool provides a great reference for anyone that wishes to understand fiber terminology.
