What is Attenuation?
Attenuation describes the gradual loss in the strength of a vector quantity as it transmits through a medium or system. In electronics, it specifically deals with the diminishing intensity of an electrical signal as it travels through a circuit or transmission medium. Electrical signals attenuate, which means they weaken over distances, similar to how a sound fades as you get farther away from it. Managing attenuation with cabling ensures signals maintain optimal strength, not too strong not too weak, as they reach their destinations.
