NEW YORK-CHICAGO CABLELine Impedance SI In order that networks may be used to balance the lines for repeateroperation, it is necessary as a practical proposition that the impe-dance characteristics of the lines be fairly uniform over the range oftelephone frequencies. The solid line in Fig. 26 shows the resist-ance component of the impedance of a No. 19 loaded cable circuitwith all loading coils in place. The solid line in Fig. 27 shows the.

It will be noted that in thelatter case the characteristics of the circuits vary greatly with would therefore be very difficult as a practical proposition to buildup a network that would balance lines in this condition, and suchvariations in the electrical characteristics of a circuit impair thequality of telephone transmission, as the currents of different fre-quencies are differently affected.
