Course: Telecommunications II (10006-II) > Section: Practicing Cabling and Splicing

Explanation should include

- factors that contribute to signal loss
- resources for computing signal losses
- calculation of signal loss at specific cable installations
- test equipment necessary to measure signal loss.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the main causes of signal loss in cables?
- How can you calculate the maximum distance over which a signal can be sent over a cable?
- What are the implications of excessive signal loss in cables?
- How would you measure the signal loss in a cable run?
