and what do you use to account for that on both a digital and analog cable (2 answers)

 

[wfbberzerker]

1) signal loss (or signal degredation?)

2) not sure... i think its a repeater?

you can use a repeater for digital
you can use amplifiers for analog

#1 is attenuation.

#2 I forget....multiplexer maybe?
