Does running multiple coaxial splitters on a single coaxial cable line effect quality of service for cable internet connections? Suppose there are 2-4 splitters between the cable line coming into a building before the connection to a cable modem, does this negatively effect the latency, throughput, etc of a cable internet connection by any measurable amount?
Is there a maximum number of times that a coaxial cable can be split into multiple internet and TV connections before QoS suffers?
1Note: Amplified splitters can cause problems, because they are only intended to amplify the cable signal coming from the cable provider. As a result, they can block or significantly degrade cable modem connections, as they send signals the opposite way. – Fake Name – 2010-03-13T10:08:19.843
Don't use splitters on cable internet connections. You want a tap. Looks like a splitter, but one leg is low loss. The input hooks to the ground block, the low loss leg goes to your cable modem, the lossy side goes to your TV distribution. – Fiasco Labs – 2012-03-04T18:52:02.187
