← ScienceWhich mechanism leads to signal loss when data transmission pulses from a twisted-pair cable encounter a sharp bend?
A)Increased faraday cage effectiveness
B)Reduced characteristic impedance matching✓
C)Enhanced skin effect propagation
D)Elevated dielectric breakdown threshold
💡 Explanation
Reduced impedance increases signal reflection due to impedance mismatch; it changes field characteristics and wave propagation. The reflected signal superimposes destructively with forward, because the change violates continuity rather than improving conductivity, therefore, lowers transmission integrity rather than signal strength
