Question: ( i ) A metallic cable assembly system consists 3 cable segments, each segment with 4 0 dB attenuation, and 2 repeaters ( amplifiers )

(i) A metallic cable assembly system consists 3 cable segments, each segment with 40dB attenuation, and 2 repeaters (amplifiers) with 35dB gain. Compute the overall attenuation/gain of the cable assembly. Show your work.
(ii) If some signal injected into above cable assembly has 30dB signal to noise ratio (SNR) and each cable segment has 5dB SNR and each repeater has 1dB SNR, then what is the SNR of signal at the other end of cable assembly.
