In Reply to: Re: Installing coax "TV" cable for multi-room use. posted by Rod M on August 6, 1999 at 14:49:00:
now you're getting into areas where I can help a bit - The best bet is to use "home-run" cables (4 separate coax runs from where the service enters the building to the 4 areas where you want outlets. Insist on "plenum-rated" coax (fire-rated - insurance companies like that) - A good 4-way splitter should be all you need (5-1000 mghz) - Putting an amp at the source isn't always the best idea since they have a tendency to overdrive the signal - I've taken a lot of big power amps out of service and improved the picture quality by leaps and bounds in 20+ TV systems.
Terminating the coax in a wall plate is fine - The pass-thru connector won't degrade the signal hardly at all and the overall appearance is much better (SigOther quotient)
Quality coax, quality connectors installed and crimped properly, quality splitter. All just a matter of paying attention to detail.
