Coaxial cable Ethernet was limited to a maximum of 500 m between repeaters, which regenerate the signal
Question:
Coaxial cable Ethernet was limited to a maximum of 500 m between repeaters, which regenerate the signal to 100% of its original amplitude. Along one 500-m segment, the signal could decay to no less than 14% of its original value (8.5 dB). Along 1500 m, then, the decay might be (0.14)3 = 0.
3%. Such a signal, even along 2500 m, is still strong enough to be read; why then are repeaters required every 500 m?
