I’m trying to split my coax cable from the street before it gets into my house. I bought the below splitter but the speed is much too slow. Could someone recommend to me a better splitter to use, please?
What splitter would work?
For what purpose? For how many locations?
Assuming the one working room is a cable modem location, how many other rooms are you looking to get connected, and for what purpose … cable TV boxes? … MoCA?
Assuming you’re trying to use MoCA, you’d want to use a MoCA-optimized splitter series like that recommended by TomRILReddit, the Antronix MMC1000-B line. Typically, a cascaded splitter setup is used, with a 2-way splitter feeding the modem location and a secondary splitter sized to service the rest of the locations.
You may want to upgrade the pictured “PoE” MoCA filter to a 70 dB model, as well. (Preferably, the “PoE” MoCA filter would be installed on the input port of the top-level splitter, with the filter connected via a short coax line to the ground block.)
These connections would ideally be made inside a protective cable junction box. At a minimum, you’ll want to use weather boots for the coax joints.
