IIRC, that amount of power loss at 30 watts would equal 4.75 watts at the splice in waste heat.
Starting with 30 watts before the splice with 0.2dB loss.
Should be 1.35 watts lost with 28.65 watts getting through.
0.2dB would be .955 remaining.
4.5 percent loss
That's still more heat in the splice than I would want, probably better to terminate the end and polish the tip of the fiber as it should be done.
