i have a weird cyliner thing on my splitter, but it looks more like a lock to prevent me from unscrewing the cable formthe splitter. this would prevent me from moving my connection.

Yes, there are little round plastic fittings that go around the terminator. and you need a special tool to get up inside them to release the terminator by removing the plastic fitting/terminator at the same time. Now...if you need to open it and the cable co. won't care...just get a small pliers or something with a strong cutting tip to cut that "anti theft" part off. And the you will need a terminator tool (you can buy them everywhere) Ur just grab onto it with a LARGE pliers and give it a little crush. This will make the terminator spin (not so freely) and you can screw it off.

we use step attenuators to control the upstream level , for example if your modem is at a 40 db upstream, we would add a 6 to 9 db attenuator to to bring that modem to a 46 or 49 . some filters are used for mitigation on noise and will only let 5 through 13 mhz to pass. (only put on tv legs NOT internet legs as it will block the upstream)
