RE: Question on cable signal loss vs splits

How many cable outlets total do you have in the house? 1 four way splitter is better than 2 two ways in series. If you have more than four outlets already. The best bet is to add a splitter that is amplified.

Depending on the cable signal strength, you could split off from your existing splitter without issue. The golden rule in cable is no more than 4 outlets to a single drop from the tap. Try it..if your picture shows any degradation..buy an amplifier. I would'nt split of the line feeding your modem. The internet connections can be a little sensitive in some cases.
