Can we talk about how much signal loss a single kinked RG6 can cause?
Found a spec sheet from CommScope showing a sharp 90-degree bend can drop signal over 3 dB. Anyone else run into this on a job and have a good fix besides just replacing the line?

Ever try to straighten one out and just make it worse?

Man, that reminds me of trying to fix a bent paperclip until it snaps.

Yeah, @river_allen is right, trying to straighten it usually just puts another weak spot in the line. I just cut it out and put in a barrel connector, saves the headache.
