Describe the issues involved with splitting cable connections.

What will be an ideal response?

Many home/small office connections are through cable television connections (using cable modems). Splitters enable multiple connections into the home or office. The issue is that splitting causes signal degradation - by half every time it is split. The quality of signal is measured in decibels (dB), where 0 dB is a solid signal, a negative number is signal loss, and a positive number is signal gain. Because dB is a logarithmic number, even a small change in number is a HUGE number in percentage. For example, splitting cable with a - 3dB signal gives you two - 6dB connections.
