9 Port CommScope Amplifier CSAPDU9VP Internet CATV Cable

Solid Equipment Which Performs Exactly As Designed. VoIP Pass Through, Too

Does What It Is Supposed To Do:
This device splits the incoming signal into many cables without signal loss nor amplification. Example: If 16 dB signal strength is sent into the unit, 16 dB signal will be present on each output port (Except the VoIP port- by design) By Contrast: Using common splitters will cause a drop of 3.5 dB or more to the signal strength, depending on the number of ports on the splitter.

This solves the problems amplifiers can cause: Sometimes amplifying the signal will cause more problems than it solves (multi-path reflection is the most common). This device's ability to split the signal without adding is the ideal solution. Example: In one installation, a normal 12 dB amplifier was added so weak stations could be received. It worked for those stations, but the signal on strong stations became so powerful that multi-path reflection made them un-viewable.

The device also has a VoIP Port. This is a "passive" port that will allow the VoIP telephone to operate if power is lost to the splitter. Since it is passive, there is some signal strength loss. (4.8 dB). The port's signal was more than adequate when tested.

It can be mounted indoors or out. The case is sealed very well and the internal electronics are encapsulated in epoxy to preclude water or condensation problems. (It does have a separate grounding lug for #4 AWG or smaller wire in case you mount it on an antenna mast.)

The Power Input can be done two ways: Directly through the included plug-in adapter, which plugs in to the wall. A coaxial cable is run from the adapter to this amplifier. Or, if the amplifier is far from an outlet, such as outside on the antenna, the plug-in adapter can be installed near any outlet and the coax to the television can be interrupted to go into the Power Injector. Then the Injector has a cable to the TV and a cable to the amplifier's Port #1.

Best Benefit: Run each device's cable directly back to this Distribution Amplifier. This eliminates splitters downstream, thus eliminates signal loss. For example, if a 16 dB signal is split 4 times with 3-way splitters, it will end up 0.4 dB (minus cable-foot loss) at the TV sets. If each of those splitters is eliminated and the cables go directly to this device, the signal will be 16 dB at the device. (Minus a little cable-foot loss). Algorithmly speaking, this is about 40 times more signal strength versus leaving the 4 splitters in place.

Summary: Good, solid equipment which solves many problems.
Downside: To take full advantage of any Drop Amplifier, one must run each cable from the device (Example: TV) to the amplifier.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Replaced 5 Port unit.

I bought this to replace a 5 port unit so I could add another TV. It was a very easy replacement and I could even use the Power Supply for the old 5 port unit.

Signal Issues Fixed

Easy to install. It fixes the skipping that I was having on one of my televisions. The dedicated port for the telephone modem keeps the line separate from all the others in case there are any additional issues.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Still trying to figure out how to properly apply this large signal splitter to my application but it's very nice and quality construction.

Good value for money

Bought it to replace my existing amplifier system. Needed the adapter mostly, but glad was able to swap the entire system.

So far so good.

This little gem solved my problem.
