Almost certainly, the power rating of the terminator is either 1/8,
1/4, or 1/2 W.


Does Radio Shack not specify the power rating?

Not in the catalog. Maybe on the bubble pack.


I dout they have a power rating on Digital line terminators! That isn't
one of the specs in common use in that field.

They aren't made for terminating much power at all.

As for the original question, they can be used as a terminator, but not
at the power levels we are likely to use, unless you are into QRPp.
