I'd appreciate hearing from some guys that have any substantial experience sweeping to 1 Ghz. I know that gear, age of plant, cable sizes, and specs all play a role in what you may typically find out there, but has anyone found some solid consistencies? Inconsistencies?
Seems to me that barely any plant may be truly capable. For instance, relatively new .625 (conduit) feeder run with modest passive loss will simply and invariably begin to lose anything above 860 Mhz. Maybe not dramatically, but then through and past another LE it degrades almost exponentially. In fact, it almost seems that 860 Mhz is a sort of "cut-off" point for any kind of real consistency.
I'll cut out anything that seems a definite problem, but it needs to present itself somehow. Anyone else cut out whole runs to gain a whopping .5db?
What say some others?
