There's a big difference between different types of indoor splitters - using the right splitter is important!
Manufacturers
make many different types of indoor splitters
depending on the application. As well, housings also vary depending on
the intended use.
Some indoor splitters are digital-rated for use with high output modems, some have different case sealings such as solder back or epoxy back plates and some have surge protectors.
Multicom makes it easy for you to compare. See our Exclusive Comparison Charts for Indoor Splitters:

Are
your fingers sore after installing âFâ connectors on coax all day?
Did You Know that you could use a 7/16â nut driver (brown dot) and slip over the edge of the connector and push/slide the connector on? It is much easier on the finger tips and works well in the winter months!

Sometimes 'F' connectors do not fit properly on coax cable - why?
F connectors will fit correctly on coax cable if the proper connector for the specific drop cable and the right prep tools are used. See Multicom's comparison chart for matching coax cable with the proper connectors.

The first cable TV systems were Community Antenna TV systems.
For the first 25 years of the industry's existence, broadcast retransmission (especially distant stations), was about the only thing they had to sell. Many systems originated local programming and carried public, educational and government access programming, but these services didn't sell many subscriptions.
The term CATV originally stood for Community Antenna TV. Somewhere around the mid-70s, when CATV companies began carrying satellite-delivered non-broadcast programming, the term CATV morphed into Cable TV.

By the way, do you know what ESPN stands for?
It doesn't stand for anything.
But the story is, when ESPN started in 1979, they called themselves the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (thus, ESPN). However, the full name was dropped in February, 1985, when the company adopted a new corporate name - ESPN, Inc. - and a new logo. Based in Bristol, CT., 80 percent of ESPN is owned by ABC, Inc., which is an indirect subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. The Hearst Corporation holds the remaining 20 percent interest in ESPN.
Did you know that Multicom opened its doors in 1982. We're going on 30 years of satisfied customers!
