I asked a transport guy (I couldn't even pretend to be one) and he said that the answer depends on the equipment. Each device/card should have an overload rating and a damage rating. Exceeding the former will cause damage and/or degradation over time and exceeding the latter will cause more immediate problems. I would purchase the attenuators, they are literally 1 dollar. However, if your in a pinch you can measure the signal levels at the far end and just make sure that they are not hazardous to your equipment.
