RF insertion-loss comparison
Source assembly insertion loss as tabulated in the Word catalogue; values are not directly comparable to 100 m cable-only attenuation.

Only published data points are plotted. Blank cells represent values not supplied in the reference table.
Published assembly insertion-loss lookup
This page displays the source assembly-loss reference value at the selected frequency. Length scaling is not applied because the catalogue does not establish a transferable cable-only formula for these assembly values.
