Cable TV splitter


I have approximately three splitters in place and wonder if there's a benefit in using a higher quality splitter to reduce the signal loss?

The specifications say that I'm losing 3.5 DB for each split. Which sounds like a lot. I saw one splitter with a loss of 3.0 which seems better.

Anybody have experience with these things and is there a limit on how many splitters I can put on?

It totally depends on the freq. ratings and response for each. I have a bag of them from the analog days that aren't up to snuff now. 

Each one loses ~ 3 dB which should be within specs of your equipment.

With digital they pretty much go binary. Either or.
