Product Information

So if you’re using a two-way splitter (which has two output ports), the incoming signal will generally be divided in two and each half sent down each outgoing cable. In simple terms, a coaxial cable splitter (like the GE splitter with 2 output ports above) is a device that’s designed and built for the purpose of providing multiple outlets for one signal.

Are you suggesting Virgin Media have got magic cables that are better than any other cables and that Virgin Media are the only entity in the world able to acquire this mystical cable? Their cable in your home is basically high grade RG59 which is no better than WF100 and some would suggest that WF100 is actually a superior cable. Why would using their cable be better than using your own? For instance, over-the-air TV signals in the US generally vary between 41 MHz and 608 MHz, so if you use a splitter rated for OTA TV for signals from your satellite dish, it may not work since satellite TV ranges up to 2000 MHz.

Cable splitters FAQ

I would suggest you avoid the twist on type of F connector though and an installer would start to gripe if you'd used them. As mentioned above, you’ll get slight insertion loss whenever you plug the coax cable into any device. In terms of signal loss, this is in addition to the slight insertion loss the input signal has when it enters the splitter’s input port. Both employees and self-employed workers will pay less in National Insurance from next year, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced in today's Autumn Statement. Chances are that if your cable run from the source is up to 100 feet in length, and you’re using a splitter with a small number of ports, your receiving device will get the signal just fine.

The splitter has cable running out of it to the 3 seperate rooms. I am struggling to establish which cable should become the input for the splitter and from where it should connect. Also realised I'd probably need to keep that router where it is (or thereabouts) as it's connected via Coax rather than plugged into an ethernet point (and the loft is possibly not ideal for a new location - coverage and resetting concerns). The second splitter is also 3.6db (for the TIVO) and 4db for the router/modem (superhub) However, this seems like a great service, and it is. The cables are likely to be clipped to skirting boards, and even if the colour is close, they can still be unsightly. Does Virgin multiroom need cables? The world will not explode and you'll get the exact same signals from Virgin Media if using quality cable other than the cable Virgon themselves carry. Sometimes this is as easy as finding where it leads from your antenna into the home. Other times you may need to trace it through your attic and behind walls.

Final take: Don’t get boxed in

It’s a so-called passive device, meaning it doesn’t run on electricity and you don’t need to plug it in (unless it’s actually a distribution amplifier). I've installed a loftbox (5 in 12 out) and have distributed 3-4 coax cables per TV point. I've done this so I can have Satelliete TV (either freesat or sky) in 5-6 locations - I'm wiring two co-ax per triplex module (for watching and recording sat TV and if required, freeview). The third is a return in case I decide to move the boxes into the hub (central distribution) in the future.
