Re: FIOS singal loss
Sounds like your cable is bad. Instead of using two splitters why not just make the first one 6 outs? |

I hope you used rg11. |

Lutz, FL | estimated signal loss for rg6 @ 250 feet is aprox 14db |

| said by ramslt8 :estimated signal loss for rg6 @ 250 feet is aprox 14db that's an incomplete statement. do you mean the loss on RG11 in the MoCA range is 14dB? Otherwise, you're incorrect.
loss will vary at different frequencies. the loss at about 350Mhz on rg6 at 250 is probably in the 14dB range, but verizon uses frequencies over 1Ghz for MoCA.
the loss in the moca range is something on the order of 25dB on rg6. |

| it was based on rf loss in general not on moca loss, and it came from a formula that i was given during my fios video training class, of course it is a mute point since anything over 150ft should be run with rg11 to avoid problem such as this.
ps. i also said it was an "estimate" |

imo, you ought to reconsider what you've learned in your fios video training class. understand that verizon training material is flaky at best, and add to it that most of the training courses are taught by contractors that are just parroting something from a binder.
if you've been through many vz courses or wasted your life on a netlearn module, i'm sure you already know this. |
