The process of assessing coaxial cable integrity verifies its ability to transmit signals effectively. This evaluation confirms the cable’s suitability for intended applications, ranging from television signal distribution to critical data transmission infrastructure.
Effective assessment procedures offer several advantages, including reduced signal loss, improved picture quality, and minimized downtime in communication systems. Historically, simple continuity testers were employed; however, modern techniques offer more precise measurements of impedance and signal attenuation, leading to more reliable results.
