(Raised eyebrow...) Leaky (badly shielded) cable = lossy cable. What you put into it is less than you get out of it at the other end, because it either gets dissipated as heat or radiated "out" throughout the length of the cable. It's measurable. That's what Steve was saying all along. In fact, if you replaced only the TX cable, and the cable was the only "culprit" in the desense -- the desense would go away completely by only replacing one cable. Maybe an interesting experiment for later on. > What's the loss difference between the two? Almost none, they both > have slow velocity factors, so the losses are almost identical. > Huh?
