14 Spectrum splitter loss in a few dB

A typical splitter can introduce a signal loss of 3-6 decibels (dB) per split. The signal loss can be a problem if the original signal is already weak or if the splitter is used in a long cable run. 5...

Here''s The Basic ProblemTV Signals Are Weak by The Time They Get to you.So, Getting Back to SplittersYeah But You Said The Splitter Usually Loses 14Db. What''s Up with The Other Two?Yes it''s true. Generally an 8-way splitter will lose 14dB. It''s common whether it''s the least-expensive or most-expensive splitter. You lose about .5dB for each connection you make because of the imperfect way the electricity travels through the connector. There''s an input connection and an output connection. That means there''s 1dB lost just to “in...See more on blog.solidsignal ResearchGate
