Example. If a Category 2 transmitter is outputting to a Category 1 receiver, the maximum attenuation is 26.0.
1Prepare two coax cables - one for Tx and one for Rx. You may want to mark the ends of the cables to identify them easily.
2Connect both cables to the
3Connect the two cables at the other end according to the opposite of the first connection Rx to Tx and Tx to Rx.
