To split a TV signal to several rooms
For use in conjunction a power unit and a masthead amplifier
Split TV analogue signal to give independent viewing in several rooms
Split output from a sky box to allow sky picture to viewed in more than one room (will only support a sky eye on 1 leg - the power passing one)

Very effective means of splitting signal with a low level of signal loss
Can be use with masthead amplifier as it allows power to pass through
Very inexpensive compared to a Distribution Amplifier
Does not need power supply
They are compact and have robust metal housing
They are relatively easy to install
In a good reception area they can feed the signal to at least 4 and up to 8 TVs without a significant signal loss

They are more expensive than unpowered splitters
By definition splitters always lead to a certain level of signal loss while a Distribution Amplifier would actually boost the signal
Only supports the use of Sky eyes on the power passing leg

Summary: An F-type splitter is used to allow signal from an aerial to run to several rooms to allow independent viewing.

They come in a range of sizes 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 way.

There are 2 basic types:

Passive splitters: Are used to distribute un-amplified (or post amplified) signal to several rooms.
Power passing splitters: Can be used between a power unit and the Masthead amplifier/Aerial.
They allow the 12 volt signal from the power unit to pass through to the Masthead amplifier
while also distributing the amplified signal on the other ports.

Equipment needed

Cut the input cable coming from the Masthead Amplifier
so that it is long enough to reach where all the cables coming from the various rooms terminate at a single point
Put an F connector on the aerial cable and also on all cables feeding the various TV points which are to be connected
Connect the aerial cable to the "IN" port on the splitter
Connect the cable coming from the Power Unit to the "OUT" port that is marked "POWER PASS"
Connect the TV point cables to the "OUT" ports on the splitter

Main Points to remember

Splitters are used as a simple, effective and low cost alternatives to distribution systems
work well when the initial signal strength is good.
Passive splitters do the same job at a lower cost than power passing splitters for a standard unpowered system
P pass splitters are designed for use with power units and masthead amps but can work as passive splitters
Never use splitters in series (looped one after the other) as this will lead to high levels of signal loss
Always use F-type splitters as IEC (Coax) splitters normally have high levels of signal loss
