JNCIA-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Data Center — Question 14

You are troubleshooting a signal strength issue when you notice that the signal strength changes from -70 to -73 dBm as you move from one room to another.
In this scenario, what is happening?

Answer options

• A. Signal strength has increased by 10x.
• B. Signal strength has decreased by 10x.
• C. Signal strength has doubled.
• D. Signal strength has halved.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a decrease from -70 dBm to -73 dBm indicates a weaker signal. This change represents a reduction in power, which in logarithmic terms is approximately a 10-fold decrease in signal strength. The other options incorrectly interpret the change in dBm values.
