Re:SCIENTIFIC ATLANTA PLEASE READ THIS...........

I agree with Sparticus also.

>It is getting annoying to see un qualified responses. Sparticus is correct the best method to use is that which is on the tombstone because the return is so close that the pad and eq will give an accurate enough level reading for ingress and to stuff a high value just suppresses the ingress and cheats the system of an accurate reading

>>In my opinion it is better to stuff the return with high value pads while splicing. Rough activating with lower value pads or the calculated tombstone pad value can cause issues with the return sweep because of plant that hasn't been properly balanced or mitigated for noise and ingress.

>>>Have your splicers install pads matching your tombstone. While this is not perfect, it is better than artificially lowering your noise floor.
