Could I use this amp this way: a 2 way splitter with the cable modem on one coax and the amp on the second?

Yes, you can do that, but there will be some loss through the 2 way splitter. I run everything through this device. I have 3 cable tv dvrs, a cable modem and a telephony modem all hooked up to this device. Normally it is suggested to run a splitter, 1 leg to your cable modem and 1 to the amp. You do not need to do this with this device
992510
Yes you can. The advantage is that the insertion loss to the modem is 3.5 dB versus 4.8 dB loss via the non-powered modem port of the PCTVC9U. The difference in typical applications is operationally insignificant. The disadvantage is that you are adding an additional 3.5 dB loss on ALL 9 ports of the PCTVC9U. It's possible this could adversely affect your TV(s) that have long cable runs and/or have poor receiver sensitivity.

Let me see if I understand, you want to split before the amp so the cable modem is separate? You could do that but this unit has a dedicated cable modem port which is basically doing the same thing.

You could but it really works best as a single-TV unit. When you start to divide the signal amongst other gear the quality goes downa bit. An amp would help as CC58 pointed out. The in-house coaxial hookup is a decent idea.

This splitter will amplify any signal supplied to it. However, it won't help with reception. If the input signal to the splitter is intermittent or noisy, the splitter won't help with that. In my case, the cable into my house had several splits before it came to my cable modem. Installing this splitter boosted a weak, but otherwise intact, signal back up to a useable level.

No, a coax amplifier can not be used. please email to Dualcomm technical support for further assistance. The email address is: support@dual-comm.com. You can also find this email address on Dualcomm website.

No, what you are wanting to do is called a MOCA lan connection. Most if not all cable company coax connections can do this, but satellite connections can not. The lan connection can not pass through the splitter and other devices found in a satellite setup. That being said the DECA connection will but it is propriety connection

I haven't tried it but I'm assuming no. You would need a splitter for something like that.

It will work both ways. But to get the best possible signal the amp should be connected right at the antenna. There should be a short cord (2 feet maybe) running from the antenna to the amp, and then the long cord running into the house and into the power inserter (sold separately), then the splitter or another amp. This will keep the signal noise free as possible. The power inserter will save you from running another long cord from an outlet to the amp outside.

Yes, but it requires a piece of coax that is not supplied to connect the power supply to the splitter/booster. I had a short piece from one of my previous cable setups that is working fine

No! This works as a one way splitter. You'll need a switch box. If both devices are accidentally turned on at the same time you may damage your electronics.

Yes you can. This is an adapter to do just that. Hook up orange coax in one side and optical in the other. Then plug in to power. Works great!

If you are asking if the splitter requires AC power (i.e. amplified) the answer is no. If you are asking if it will pass AC or DC through on the COAX, I don't think so.

I used a splitter on my coaxial direct tv connection, 1 connection for for direct tv and the other for internet. However, I found out I did not need this because my cable box has a internet connector (RJ45) that I could use.

Hi James. It will not be possible since this splitter will be connected to a single source. Whatever audio coming from the source will be shared on both outputs.
756505
Yes, however this amp uses speakon connectors and you would most likely use it in bridged mode.

to get a good signal split into two unfortunately you will have to invest in a rocketfish amplified splitter(Best buy,maybe amazon) this one won't quite hack it.

No. There is just one input and one output. The output also serves as the power supply for the amplifier. The unit pictured here is the amplifier which mounts on the antenna mast or close to it. The power supply is connected downline just before the first splitter. The power will travel from the power supply to the amplifier on the same coax cable that the signal travels from the amplifier to the power supply on.

Yes - but not if you only use the splitter on the jack end near your workstation & AppleTV device. You MUST use the other splitter (comes in the set) on the opposite end of the cable that feeds the wall jack in question to patch that one jack to TWO open ports on your router/switch. This is NOT a splitter in the traditional sense you might be used to with a cable-tv (F-type coaxial) splitter where you can just magically make 1 outlet feed 2 devices. It it really a combiner-splitter where it sends two feeds over a single cable and then splits them back out on the other end. Please be sure that you have 2 open ports on your network router/switch equipment to feed these 2 devices BEFORE you order this. If you do - and you install it correctly - everything will work beautifully.
