| Thanks for the replies. I had to have a tech come out to replace a panel on my ONT....the phone portion died. Anyway I asked him about the splitter and he said what most of you mentioned....about losing a certain amount of -Db every 25' or so then about how much you lose (-3Db) per split. However, he mentioned that when they install the bigger concern is having a signal that's too hot and need to attenuate down....so splitting many times is not a problem.
He said he did a house with 26 "splits" and was the only time he had to use and amplifier. |

Of course I did (with the Verizon techs during the original install). Be very afraid. The saga continues: »10 way splitter |

Only problem is that I know they have a 99% probability of being stolen property, so I tend to back away from what otherwise looks like a really good deal.
