A loss measure for voltage, current or power (optical or electrical). The loss in optical power along an optical fibre is measured in dB/km, and should be quoted at a specified light wavelength. Beware when converting linear ratios to dB, which is a logarithmic ratio. The tables for voltages and currents are different from those referring to power.

Attenuation is the decrease in the strength of a signal over the length of a cabling channel and attenuation is caused by a loss of electrical energy in the resistance of the cabling channel and by leakage of energy from the channel. This loss of energy is expressed in decibels (dB). Lower attenuation values correspond to better channel performance. For example, when comparing the performance of two cables at a particular frequency, a channel with an attenuation of 10 dB performs better than a channel with an attenuation of 20 dB. (see page 45) Channel attenuation is determined by the channel and cross connect construction, length, and the frequencies of thesignals sent through the channel. At higher frequencies the skin effect and inductance and capacitance cause attenuation to increase.
