Coaxial Cable Splitters
What is a coaxial cable splitter?
A coaxial cable splitter is essentially a small piece of electronic hardware that allows you to split a signal that is traveling over coaxial cable. The most common application for a coaxial cable splitter is use it so you can run multiple devices off the same coaxial line. Like if you want to split your cable TV signal and direct it to multiple television sets. Once a coaxial cable splitter is in place you can send your cable TV signal out to numerous TV’s in different areas of your home or business.
How do I install a coaxial cable splitter?
Coaxial cable splitters are available with numerous outputs. Each output is used to split the signal to different locations. There will be one onboard input that is used to bring in your main signal. All of these connections are made with F type connections. These are the common connection types used to attach your cable line to the back of your TV set. The F connector will be attached to the cable and then it will screw onto the treaded F type post coming out of your TV. The coaxial cable splitter will have an F type threaded post for both your inputs and outputs. Once your main signal is connected to the input post on the coaxial cable splitter you can start connecting the outputs which are used for the extra devices you are sending a signal to. A coaxial cable splitter is a passive device that takes a simple plug and play installation. Splitting your cable TV single can be accomplished in a matter of minutes.
What is an amplified coaxial cable splitter?
Sometime when you split your cable signal too many times or you have real long cable runs your signal will weaken. If this is the case the end result will be a poor quality video signal. If this is the case there are amplified coaxial cable splitters available to help increase the strength of your video signal. An amplified coaxial cable splitter is powered so it will have to be located somewhere where you can plug it into power. As the video signal enters the splitter it will amplify the signal making it stronger than it originally was. This allows the signal to travel longer distances and at the same time hit your devices with enough power that it maintains the quality of the video signal.
What do I need to buy if I want to split my video signal?
For one you will need a coaxial cable splitter that has the number of outputs you need to support your application. If you are running new lines or moving existing lines you may need coaxial cable, F connectors, a coaxial cable stripper, and a coaxial cable connector termination tool. You need to have F connectors pre-terminated on your coaxial cables in order to connect them to the splitter. So if they are not in place then you will have to install them on your own.
