A simulation system that simulates a length of communication media is disclosed
that is tunable. Examples of communication media include wire, coaxial cable, and
fiber. The simulation system is comprised of a communication media simulator system.
The communication media simulator system receives a service provider signal from
a service provider. The communication media simulator system applies a load to
the service provider signal to simulate the length of communication media. The
communication media simulator system varies the load to adjust the length of communication
media simulated.
