does this splitter need power?

No power to it (Nyrius) just your devices. We use it for optical sound between cable, AppleTV and BluRay.

I've used these at work and they don't take anything special. They're a "dummy" device, so I can't imagine the splitter would care what machine it's connected to.

Yes, You need power supply. The signal extend not far. This is why I send it back.

it should no problem, it's not a powered device itself. all this does a split the power you currently have coming from your receiver

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.

No. its a passive splitter. The only way it will work is if you unplug the tv you aren't using. You need to get an active splitter (one that you have to plug in and gets power) in order to do what I think you want to do. At least that was my experience.

The way the switch works is if the primary power source fails it will auto switch it and you wouldnt even notice it. If you want to split the loads you have to run seperate wiring.

If you want to have a splitter between the preamp and the power inserted, you need to use a "power passing" splitter. I used this one from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018BN0UW/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. You may choose a different one depending on the number of connections you need at the splitter.

It has only one plug, but you can use splitter. Just make sure not to plug too much and overload.

You would lose at least 3 dB or half the power if split in two plus the loss through the splitter - likely 4.5 dB total. Also, Noise figure may increase. That is a significant loss of power. Depending on how good your reception is, it is worth a try, but you may need another low noise amp or simply another antenna for the second TV.

I use the splitter to power my LG sound bar from one side and a wireless headphone set from the other. It works great.

Yes. This unit is basically a single line booster followed by a balanced splitter. Like other splitters, you should terminate unused outputs.

No. However, any thing hooked up to the output will require powering the splitter down and back up again before they will be recognized.

You need to plug both in because one transfers data and the other supplies power. If you can only connect one then you need a usb splitter.

Yes but it must be installed between the antenna and the splitter. Make sure it's plugged in and has constant power.

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

It depends if DC current can pass to the second unit. Some ports on the splitters pass DC power, others do not. If you are getting DC power on the other end of the cable, that should be sufficient to power the second unit.
