The depth values can only be reached with limited cable length and an undisturbed
acoustic and electric receiver channel.
For cable length longer than mentioned in the table the electrical power of the echosounder has to
be increased according to manufacturer's release.
Table 1 and 2 show as an example cable loss depending on frequency and cable length and the
corresponding possible depth measurements for the frequencies 50 kHz and 100 kHz.
