Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Enhance Signal Distribution with GE Digital 4-Way Coaxial Cable Splitter for HD TV, Satellite, Internet & More - 2.5 GHz 5-2500 MHz, RG6 Compatible by James Roper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not all splitters are the same. This is the one to buy.

I have made and repeated MANY installations over the past decade and I have come to the conclusion that not all splitters are created equal; Many use non-standard designs and non-standard components, and losses often exceed the 3.01 dB + insertion loss that physics dictates when splitting a signal in two in poorly designed splitters. Many of them are also non-linear over a certain frequency range, meaning some frequencies pass better than others. at least up to 1.6 GHz. In my experience, this splitter does an excellent job of signal separation, and the insertion loss is lower than some other splitters I've used. Most splitters claim that their loss is 3.5 dB; However, in my experience, many of them lose up to 0.5dB more than they advertise. This splitter also works great with MoCA and provides enough bandwidth for your network. If you continue to have problems after replacing the splitter, carefully inspect your coax cable ends. Avoid using slewing rings; Instead, use quality compression fittings and use a 7/16" wrench to make sure they are tight. Very often problems are caused by bad connectors and the problem seems to be related to the splitter just because the connectors are attached to it. and the insertion loss is lower than some other splitters I've used.

Very often problems are caused by bad connectors and the problem seems to be related to the splitter just because the connectors are attached to it. Avoid using slewing rings; Instead use good quality compression fittings and make sure they are tight with a 7/16" wrench. Very often problems are caused by poor connections and the problem seems to be related to the splitter just because the connectors are attached to it.
