cable length command - controller output

[lkadlik]

Why does it say that the gain for the cablelength is 36 0db?  Shouldn't it say 36 db?

#sh controller T1 0/0
T1 0/0 is up.
  Applique type is Channelized T1
  Cablelength is long gain36 0db

Thank you.

The first number is the receive sensitivity in dB, and the second the transmit attenuation.

The curious mix of parameters is an artifact of the hardware and chipset design.
