Review on Leviton 47690 G8 8 Way Passive Splitter by Louis Mechtak

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My cables are no longer a socially awkward commodity in my home.

I used a Leviton 47690-G8 1 x 8 (8-way) 2GHz passive video splitter in this coax box: CableGuard CG-1000XL coax demarcation housing. There are only a couple of holes lined up for mounting, but I screwed it in and then attached the cable leads I needed. All of my wiring lines enter my garage and slide down a stud that runs next to my dash panel. I had to use the Klein Tools VDV512-057 coax line tester to determine which cable line went to which room/coax port. Worked like magic. Instead of a web of coax lines, I now see an organized box! I don't have a TV at home (cable internet only) so I disconnected all the lines I'm not using and just plugged in the cable from the cable company + the line that goes to my cable modem. Would I buy again (if I needed it twice). Would recommend to friends with naughty cables like mine!

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
