Why are both ends rated for 22dB of attenuation?
1794828
They are not and when you get the actual product the "package insert" will tell you this. The green end has the NRR rating of 22 dB which is based on Constant noise within a certain range of frequencies--it has to do with A vs B vs C rated noise. It is assumed that a higher NRR correlates to more protection again Impulse noise (eg gun fire). The yellow end has no meaningful NRR rating because it is activated by impulse noise (over 85 dB I believe, I don't have the data sheet with me). I never shot a load gun (eg .45 1911) on the gun range with these--I already have significant hearing loss. But they are extremely useful in many situations, mainly with less loud, less frequent settings like pheasant hunting or when you are in the vicinity of a gun range (this would take more explanation) but they go in and out very quickly and comfortably. I use them often but when I shoot my 1911 at the range I wear the Classic plus 33dB foam plugs AND an ear muff type 30+ dB. Many people who shoot a lot do this (or they wear hearing aids later on)

there is most probably very small breakdown of electrical signal at any connection point. I have never had a length of patch cord where I noticed a breakdown in sound quality. I recommend this product.

Package says 100dB, just got it and haven't tried it yet, will write review later.

I believe the technician mistook FEET for METER. According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers which created the specification Sony adheres to it is 100 meters in the main run, called "horizontal" in some cases, using Category 6 cabling with solid core. Your patch cable, made with stranded cable gives you 10 meters between the device and wall jack. Your stranded cable has higher attenuation than solid cable, if you go over 10 meters on the stranded, reduce the solid accordingly. Just buy some good cabling - cat5, or 6, your choice, for a 10 foot run. Look up Panduit, or Belkin. Cheers. I believe the technician mistook FEET for METER.

I am assuming the sound is too low and can be a little hard to hear. That's because the signal being used was intended to be amplified. This adapter worked for my needs as our LAN party just needed to have a general idea of what was going on. I plan on looking for a battery powered in-line amp to plug this into for future parties. Hope this helped.

It seems more flexible than CATV RG6 to me. That could be due to the dielectric used. It's audio cable. Should be 75 ohms.

Your friend is right i bought by accident thinking both ends were stereo but the big end is not so if you use like you say you are losing half your sound from your source

Per the documentation, each port provides on average a 7.5 dB gain. http://www.motorolasolutions.com/web/Business/Products/Cable%20Broadband/RF%20Amplifiers/BDA100/_Documents/staticfile/BDA-S4-RA_Catalog_Specifications_-_prelim.pdf

I don't know the actual db. rating but I would say "not bad, wear hearing protection indoors" I have found the sound less and lower pitched on softwoods, higher pitched with hardwoods. About the same level sound as a router while cutting.

EK's answer is very close to correct. The -3dB rolloff point is 100kHz. Frequencies lower than this are possible to receive, but sensitivity will become lower as the frequency gets lower.

The little yellow package reads "NRR 33, 27 dB, Class 5." Whatever that means (33 dB? 27 dB?). They are rather stout compared to some yellow / neon plugs I've used in the past.

okay to quqlify that answer remember that the ends are generric but with that said i found one end to have a better fit your situation may differ but that was what i found out hope that helps

The pac-audio website seems to imply the insertion loss is 1.3dB (the sentence is cut off, but I believe this is what they mean). That corresponds to a 13% loss in power (note: most dB values do not convert to % this easily), and much less than 13% in perceived volume. (The human perception of "loudness" is not linearly related to power)

ALL the stations I get are 60 miles or closer, with some less than 30 miles and there is no over-amplification apparent in any of them; from the bottom to the top. I have a long run of cable with 2 connectors and have split to a second TV with NO issues at all. One TV is HD 1080P and the other is not. The clarity on all channels is excellent. It can't improve a poor signal but will give you all that is received.

The input sensitivity is line level but the rest is who knows. Tube fans tend to not pay too much attention to specifications though because tubes insert a type of distortion into the sound that some people like. It's the kind of thing you just put into your signal path and see if you like it. Personally, I found it to detract too much clarity and sent mine back but others here really like it. Either way, for $50, it's hard to go wrong.

Cheaper Than Dirt says they have an NRR of 26dB (http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/2-GLAP60212 )

Settings are for the length of your boundary wire. "A" is greater than 2400 feet, "C" is for 1300-2400 linear feet and "B" is for up to 1300 feet. This is per the actual guide document, page 10. Seems like it ought to be A, B, C but it is not per the document. Per doc B, C then A. for <1300, 1300-2400 then >2400.
