A building has six floors plus a basement. Each floor is 10,000 square feet and has approximately 50 CATV outlets respectively. There is a single hardline trunk cable installed from the basement headend passing through a directional coupler in each floor's telecommunications room (TR). Which leg of the coupler will have the LEAST signal loss?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The through leg of the directional coupler will have the least signal loss because it allows the signal to pass through without branching off to other legs. The tap leg will have some signal loss because it diverts some of the signal to a connected device. The splitter leg will also have some signal loss because it splits the signal into two or more outputs. The port leg is not a relevant term in this scenario.
