Which outcome occurs when impedance mismatch degrades signal integrity of a cable?

💡 Explanation

Signal reflection and power loss results because impedance mismatch causes signal discontinuities, initiating signal reflection back towards the source rather than efficient transmission along the cable; therefore power is reduced rather than noise reduction in well-matched systems.
