Review on Leviton 47603-DP6: Compact Combo Bridged Phone & 🔌 Data Board with 6-Way Video Splitter - Ultimate Connectivity Solution by Kevin Woods

Leviton 47603-DP6 Compact Series: 1 x 4 combo phone/data bridge and 6 channel video splitter are essentially 3 different installed devices on a common device plastic containers. The included 1x4 phone, 1x4 data and a 6-channel 1GHz coaxial video splitter are housed on a small circuit board. INSTALLATION The instructions provided are general in nature and as such apply to various Leviton devices and not just this model. Since this block basically consists of 3 different blocks stuffed into the panel, they contain instructions for each sub-component. Planning your installation in advance can help you understand how best to use the included connectors. Choosing a good location to install the device is very important as you will need some clearance and plan for a fence or hidden area if you don't want the maze of connections to be visible to all. The device also includes a terminal legend, housing bracket and stamp. Experienced installers should be able to adapt to the characteristics of this particular model. This unit is ideal for satellite offices or attic segments. However, the case design allows the ports to be close together. So when you have to use all ports, it becomes difficult for you to organize your wired connections. PERFORMANCE The real question is, does the device perform as advertised? In the video I was only able to test 4 ways, but all data and telephone connections worked without any problems. However, I wasn't sure what the tolerances were for the amplified signal that was going to be fed into the splitter. For those using all 3 connection groups, this is a key planning point. CONCLUSION Although this is a niche product, it seems to work well. Some may choose models with more features, ports, and/or higher frequency. This is a good solution for those who need multiple connections now and hopefully need more in the near future. Enjoy.
