...but I'm not one to pick nits... :)

That would be dBarbitrary_cable_number_combined_with_my_ignorance... ;)

The values are probably meaningless (I guess I should have gone farther than just saying approximate/guesstimate :), but if nothing else should show that everything connected to the cables (not to mention the cables themselves) contributes to losses.

Now I guess I have to go look up dBm, dBW, and dBuV... Too much to learn. To little time. :)
