I'd have thought so as it conducts differently to copper, so at 30db I could estimate that my cable length is 2100m but if there are any crappy connections or corroded wires then the actual length could be shorter.
If you did it the other way around and knew that the cable length was 2100m but the attenuation was greater than 30db then you know there is a problem with the cable somewhere.
That makes sense doesnt it?
