Hi,
Be aware that the are two points here one is the collision type argument that is we
need to be sure all have seen the pulses on the line prior to themselves transmitting.
The other is pure attenuation that is the weakening of the signal as it attempts to
change the state of the line. (Assuming electricity does not really travel along the
wire but does indeed change its state the same could be said for fibre.)
So there are a number of factors that come into it.
