Coax cables are electrical cables most often used to protect and direct satellite or cable signals from their source to television sets. They come in a variety of sizes and designs. Each type performs differently based on its intended use. The most common size is rg6. If you need to divert your signal to two different places at one time, you will need to splice the cable. You can do this safely and effectively.
Instructions
1. Identify the appropriate location on the cable for the split. Be sure the cable will be long enough to reach each device after the split is completed.
2. Screw the coax cable from the transmission (whether satellite or cable) into the slot labeled "In" on the connector you purchased.
3. Attach the two cables for the devices you are splicing the cable for (such as television and DVD player) into the "Out" slot on the splitter.
4. Connect the spliced lines to the devices.
5. Power on the devices, and check to ensure the splice was completed correctly with no static or interference present in the signal. If there is disturbance in the signal, make sure the cables are screwed in tightly.
