Consider a municipal coax cable network. Which consequence results when water breaches a cable jacket?

💡 Explanation

Water intrusion causes dialectric losses which become greater with frequency. Increasing signal *attenuation* across the cable *increases.* The mechanism at work here is *dielectric absorption* because water molecules impede correct propagation; therefore attenuation is higher, rather than an impedance/reflection effect.
