The 8-Way Coaxial TV Splitter is a passive RF distribution device designed to divide a single incoming television signal from an antenna, cable TV wall outlet, or satellite LNB . It allows up to 8 separate televisions or set-top boxes to receive the signal simultaneously from one source .

Constructed with a metal (zinc alloy) housing and F-type connectors, the splitter provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to maintain signal integrity and prevent external noise from degrading picture quality . A properly shielded splitter helps prevent "ghosting" or pixelation on connected displays .

Key Features

75 Ohm Impedance: Matches standard coaxial cables (RG6, RG59) and TV inputs for maximum power transfer .

1 GHz Bandwidth: Supports both analog and digital TV frequencies (including DVB-T2/ISDB-T) .

Port Labeling: Clearly marked "IN" for the source and "OUT" 1-8 for connected devices .

Corrosion Protection: Gold-plated or nickel-plated connectors resist rust in humid environments .

Performance Notes

Insertion Loss: Each split reduces signal power. An 8-way splitter typically loses 10.5-12 dB . A strong incoming signal (e.g., amplified antenna or cable ISP feed) may be required for all 8 outputs to have clear reception .

Amplification: If your signal is weak, use a distribution amplifier (powered splitter) before this passive splitter to boost the signal .

Compatible Applications

Connecting multiple CATV boxes to a single cable subscription .

Distributing an outdoor TV antenna to all rooms in a house .

Splitting a satellite LNB signal to multiple receivers (requires DC pass-through models for powering the LNB) .
