Yes I am not sure which cable manufacturer that was from it was for commercial quality RG6 but it is not just the reference of what loss will be caused by a static 100 foot length of cable... or to calculate any loss due to cable ...

Its that the same 100 foot length of cable
will cause a different reaction of loss depending on the frequency of the station.

It can help people understand if you split a cable -7 to VHF may still get you the signal but -7 to a same powered UHF station may drop it out.

or if you have a 14db antenna vs a 10db
or if you have your antenna inside vs outside

Those things may effect some signals more than others.
It is still relatively small unless you are in my position where fringe means you might only get 6 db of signal from a station to your home..

If you are in the burbs or city and your signals are over 30db to your home it won't matter.

... anyway

IDK just thought it was interesting.
