Splitter High Speed Internet Cable – Break Up Service in Small Business and Residents

In the home, a Splitter for High Speed Internet Cable is used to route one side of the signal to the cable converter box for TV use and the other side of the signal to a cable modem for Internet data use to your PC. It involves modulating and demodulating unused cable TV channels then converting it into Internet data service. While high speed Internet service has been available to large companies for quite some time now, we have not seen much affordable service of this type available to residents and small business in many places. The good news – it’s changing. Companies offer High-Speed Internet Service to small businesses and residents everywhere.

Digital Subscriber Line or DSL service is offered by local phone companies and competitive data and phone providers. DSL involves taking the portion of standard copper phone lines not required for voice service and converting it into Internet data service.

What is the best splitter configuration for TV service?

Basically, you want the signal distribution evened out as much as possible between all of the TVs. If you have a loop system, there isn’t much you can do. Remember, cable loses signal over distance, keep distances as short as possible.

Isolation is the buzzword for using a splitter when connecting a cable modem and your TV set: Because of the high signal level of the cable modem (120 dBuV), inter-modulation “products” can be generated by the ferrites of the splitter. These unwanted “products” can cause interference on the TV set. Secondly, the TV connection should have a low pass filter to prevent ingress to enter the cable network.

3 Possible Reasons for a Splitter Not Working?

• Low quality splitter – 50% of the time the splitter is the problem.
• Using multiple splitters can cause a DB drop – reduce the number of splitters
• Using a splitter that isn’t bi directional – meaning they only receive and cannot transmit back.

If your signal is weak using an amp can boost the signal, put the amp as close to the source as possible to reduce any DB bleed. Amps may also create line noise. You should have a clean line for your cable modem and have at least 1 filter to block signals from returning to the line. (Meaning you couldn’t use your cable modem either).

If you want to split the cable signal between the cable modem and the TV split the cable that goes to your first TV for the best reception on online.
