Three-Way Splitter

Signal loss is 3.5 on one leg, and 7db on the other two.

Note that this is the same as hooking up two two-way splitters to each other.

got feedback?

what you show is a unbalanced 3 way there is also a balanced 3 way which has 5.5db loss across each leg.

Eight-Way Splitter

(picture soon)

Typical loss per leg is 12 to 14db. If you have to use an eight-way splitter, you probably need an amplifier too.

got feedback?

here's a link on an on line store of an 8-way splitter http://www.accessorywarehouse.com/images/large/28-mpt2538.jpg
