Clipsal StarServe - Installation Guide, 11635

SECTION 2Introduction to MATV BasicsSignal Losses - SplittersLosses over splitters are just as important to calculate as the losses over cable. The value of the loss will be differentfor VHF and UHF (the golden rule is the higher the number of splits, the higher the losses).The Clipsal StarServe ® VDU is a NO-LOSS SPLITTER.The losses over each output port of the splitter are the same.If you changed a two way splitter for a four way splitter you may have poor picture quality due to the fact that youhave added losses into the system and reduced the signal strength to each outlet by 4dB on VHF and 3.4dB on UHF.An eight way splitter would also require an amplifi er.Antenna inputSIGNAL IN70dBuVSIGNAL OUT72dBuVSIGNAL IN70dBuVSIGNALOUTVHF: 57.8dBUHF: 57.2dBSIGNALNO LOSSOption of 5dB GAINor 15dB ATTENUATIONFrequency 2 Way 3 Way 4 Way 6 Way 8 Way46-470MHz VHF < 3.5dB < 6.1dB < 7.5dB < 10.2dB < 11.2dB471-860MHz UHF < 4.4dB < 6.3dB < 7.8dB < 10.7dB < 11.8dB10 INSTALLATION GUIDE
