So this splitter installed on the outside of a home would be considered cable theft in my neighborhood.

Splitters in general will always degrade network flow. The more splitters you have the more the coax cable is broken up.

I have 1 coax cable line coming into the house.

It gets plugged INto an electrified coax signal booster. There are then 4 lines going out.

  • 1 line to the living room and

  • 1 line to each of the 3 bedrooms.

2 of the 3 ends in the bedrooms have terminator caps on them because they do not connect to any device. 1 of the 3 connects to a cable box in my bedroom.

The living room has a splitter like yours.

  • 1 line goes to the Cable Box and

  • 1 line to my internet modem

That Living Room splitter should be eliminated by me so there are no splits in my cable delivery and improve my own internet access. Thanks for helping me see that I should move the modem to one of the capped bedrooms. ☺️

Get rid of the outdoor splitter.
