Attenuation is a measure of how much loss a signal experiences when it travels down a communication medium( loss as heat, absorbed by communication medium).It is mesured in decibels Attenuation is a term that refers to any reduction in the strength of a signal, when transmitting over a long dinstance. Attenuation occurs with any type of signal, whether digital or analog. It is also called loss of signals, The extent of attenuation is usually expressed in units called decibels (dBs).

How does network cable length affect attenuation?
longer cable lengths have greater signal attenuation
On a 10BASE-T network attenuation is addressed through the use of what?
repeaters
What is attenuation in decibels?
The degeneration of a signal over a distance on a network cable is called attenuation. It does not have any relation with decibels. The strength of signal just gets reduced.
Which network device regenerates the data signal without segmenting the network?
The network device that regenerates data signals without segmenting the network is a repeater. Repeaters are used to prevent attenuation of signals.
Does attenuation happen when EM wave travels in space?
There is no attenuation due to absorption, but attenuation will occur due to divergence (spreading out) of the wave.
What is a good value for dB attenuation?
6 dB is a "good" attenuation.
Why can you only populate 3 segments of a 5 4 3 network?
The other two segments must be link segments - connecting through network connectivity devices. Adding any clients on those two links would cause additional attenuation, which is not good for the network.
How do you reduce attenuation effects?
We can reduce attenuation effects bt using repeaters
What is breast attenuation as in nuclear stress test?
breast attenuation correction meethods
Where can you find information about attenuation?
Attenuation means the reduction of signal strength during transmission. If one is looking for information about attenuation, it can be found on the Wikipedia website.
Many network hubs incorporate repeaters or amplifiers to regenerate signals so that attenuation of the signal does not occur?
As a rule a hub does not contain a repeater. Amplifiers would be used in analog communication, not digital communication. Attenuation is a process that occurs all the time in networks; you would place a repeater in an area where the attenuation would cause the signal to degrade to the point where it wouldn't be usable. You would want the repeater to be placed before that point.
Non-desructive attenuation for attenuation measurement in optical fiber?
Because race car.
