Default Calculating Coaxial Cable Loss

If a cable, any cable ..... for argument sake... say Andrew LDF2-50... has a
specified loss at.... say 1000 MHz.... of 3.52 dB in 100 ft... is there a
way to calculate what the loss would be in different lengths ? Say for 50
feet ?

The cable above is an example.... but is there a rule for calculating loss
for cables of any kind under 100 feet ? Would loss at 50 feet be exactly
1/2 of that at 1000 feet ?
