I'm having trouble certifiying some splices and looking for some ideas. I did 156 splices on new unused cable and had 2 fails via DTX1800 respliced and all passed big headroom, all systimax terra cable and pigtails. Relocated 2 cables already used, spliced, tested, most failed, changed electrodes, respliced, same failed +- .02db change. Relocated used cables are osp break-out by varied manufacturers, pig tails are systimax terraspeed. Had some trouble with pistoning of breakout glass between cleaver and splicer but wouldn't send splice to heater oven over projected loss of .05db. It was easy to pull out and easy to pull in; total lentgh 1100'-1400'. Got OTDR coming out tomorrow just looking for ideas.
