Depending on your source between 35-55 is ideal, but anything above 25 and below 60 is fine. When you hit 60 you're at risk of maxing out the modem, since many can't go above 62-64; so when the CMTS commands more output power the modem cannot manage and so signal may drop below acceptable levels. But anything below that, if it's too low the CMTS will just ask for more.

Exactly. Too little bidirectional attenuation will lead to excessive downstream power levels, which
are a problem - since the modem cannot reduce the output power of the CMTS at the other end.
