Will this work with a multioutlet cable distribution amplifier if fed in on the (1) the input side of the amplifier or (2) the output side amplifier?

my understanding is that some amplifiers will block the MOCA signal, and others won't. I have two different amplifiers, and one blocked the MOCA signal, and the other didn't. I didn't test it on the input side of the amplifier, and both MOCAs were on the output side, but I think it should work if on the input side also.

Yes, a splitter placed downstream from the amplifier does work. Keep in mind that you want to connect the amplifier as close to the antenna as possible or it really does not work. As a matter of fact if you do not power the amplifier with this unit you will barely get any stations. I get about 3 without the amp and 68 with it! I am mounted indoors but at the peak of my attic on a 1 story. Therefore if you loose power to the amp you will not be happy. I have to contact the company to see if this result is normal. I hate to be dependent on a tiny amp and power supply. I think the amp does more than the antenna. I tried it with a cheap flat rca ANT 1400 $17 from amazon and it really helped that as well The RCA got about 30 stations without the amp and about 45 with it. I did see a drop in signal when adding a second TV but not terrible. I would advise you to get a really good quality splitter with contacts which wont corrode. A bit more pricey but it should not oxidize like the cheap ones will. Also use the shortest cables which will work for you application.

I wouldn't recommend it because you'll be amplifying a signal that will be weak/bad/grainy after traveling through the long cable. So it may amplify the "bad" signal. Generally it is best to amplify the "good" signal at the beginning of a long cable run or before you split it multiple times.

Not an easy answer. If the question is really "Can I plug each of my 3 output devices into this switch and have my camcorder feed all simultaneously," the answer is no. This switch is 6 in, 1 out and does not support the opposite (1 in 6 out) that you want. The device you want is a DA or DS (Distribution Amp or Distribution Switch); however, depending on the exact cabling options of each of your devices, you CAN feed all three devices without a switch by using regular cabling and perhaps a "y" cable or two, but I assume you knew that already.

Yes you do. The amplifier needs to be plugged inline before the splitter if you use one. The amplifier has a power cord that runs from it to a wall outlet.

Cables like this allow the source to be from either direction. It is just wires... no matter which direction the signal comes from.

not an expert here, but I do own this product. If you are outputting from a computer and you have an adapter that splits from the mono jack into regular + and - speaker cables yes. BUT this is not an amplifier, and if your computer doesnt have a way to boost the signal like a pre-amp then I dont think it will work like you want. You lose some power from the source through the splitter. I'm sure one of the more knowledgeable people would ring in, but look at the inputs on the picture to get a better idea.

I know it says "input" on 2 and "output" on 1 connector. But, you can really use it either way. 1 input to 2 outputs or 2 inputs to 1 output. It's possible that there is some signal degradation, but I've used it successfully to switch between two outputs. Most of the time you wouldn't need to do that, as a splitter provides 2 outputs for 1 input. In the past, I had to use this switch instead of the splitter, because I wanted to have a bit of isolation. It worked fine.

Jessica,Not sure what you are trying to do, but the two mail ends are for L/R audio inputs and the one female end usually plugs into your receiver. I am using this for my sub-woofer, coming from the receiver to the sub, then two male ends plug into the left/right inputs to my sub.

I use this unit to split my cable box HDMI output which them feeds my Sony Receiver and two other Devices. I have found the splitter only works if all the other devices are on. If any one of them is turned off, the splitter won't pass the sound portion of the HDMI signal. I don't think this anything to do with the make of the components.

No. The amplifier has 6 coax ports. One is for the input signal to be amplified, one is for power, and four are for the amplified output signals. One of the four outputs can be used to power the unit while also passing the amplified output out if you use the power inserter. If you use the inserter you do not have to run a separate power cable out the amplifier power port.

Are you trying to put this at the output of an amplifier? You may end up with a low impedance problem which can load down the output of an amplifier and cause things to get hot and burn up. Remember, this is a mono cable. You do not have "left & "right". Just "left mono" only, even though it's a "Y" split. If your amplifier wants to see 8 ohms (speaker) and you put 4 ohms instead (that is, two speakers wired in parallel), you can damage your amp.

Normally you would not wire 2 output devices to a 1 input device but since the output devices are passive (I assume) mics, then they will just mix together at the computer input jack via the splitter cable. Your biggest problem will be balancing the 2 mic signals to your satisfaction since there is no control on the 2 mics.

The adapter is used in line with your cable. I ran the cable down from the antenna and used the adapter right before it went to the splitters at the house enterance.

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack

I'm not sure what you mean by passing signals both ways. Splitters are designed to receive a signal from the "IN" port and divide or split the signal 2 or 3 times from the "OUT" port. I used this to split my cable line from the street ("IN" port) and divide the signal 3 times to 3 different rooms, when connected to the three "OUT" ports.

This isn't an easy question to answer without the specifics of what you're trying to hook up. This is a guitar cable. It is mono and will work well in transferring a low power signal to an amp, etc. If you're trying to hook up an amp to a speaker for example, this is not what you want. For an already amplified signal you'll need a 1/4" speaker cable. There is a huge difference. One is shielded and meant to carry a high impedance signal to an amplification source, the other is not shielded and meant to carry a much stronger power signal with low impedance. You should Google the specifics of your gear because using this cable for instance to run from an amp head to a speaker could possibly cause major damage. I hope this helps!
