What is a Splitter? Coaxial cable cannot be spliced together like telephone or speaker wire.

Therefore in order to 'connect' the two or more coaxial cables together a splitter is required. Splitters allow multiple coaxial cables to be connected together. Splitters range from 2 way (one cable in and two out) to 8 way (one cable in and eight out) to suit various needs. Whenever a splitter is used, it degrades the signal. Why shouldn't I buy a similar amplifier from a retail store? They are much cheaper! Yes, they are CHEAPER. Although they will not provide similar functionality, many of them are made overseas using cheaper components and manufacturing facilities. The result is that these amplifiers cannot provide the CLEAN, STRONG signal that Electroline provides. Electroline is the "industry standard" for providing clean signal amplification. Why settle for less? Other amplifier manufacturers also provide little or NO WARRANTY. Why spend $30-35 on a lower quality amplifier, made overseas, with NO WARRANTY? Spend a few bucks more and get peace of mind.  more
