Question 1
What is the nominal characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable used in MATV and cable television distribution systems?
Correct Answer:
75 ohms
Question 2
In a master antenna television (MATV) system, what does the headend do?
Correct Answer:
It receives, processes, and combines the incoming signals before they enter the distribution system
Question 3
A two-way splitter is installed in a 75-ohm distribution system. What is the approximate insertion loss seen at each output port?
Correct Answer:
About 3.5 dB
Question 4
A headend delivers +20 dBmV to a riser. The run to the first tap loses 6 dB in cable, a two-way splitter costs 3.5 dB, and the drop loses 4 dB. What level reaches the outlet?
Correct Answer:
+6.5 dBmV
Question 5
Why is RG-11 sometimes used instead of RG-6 for long coaxial runs in a building distribution system?
