Generic Unbranded 288 8-way Catv Splitter 1 Ghz

Product Description

The 288 is an 8-way CATV signal splitter rated to 1 GHz, designed to divide a single coaxial input signal across eight output ports. Cable technicians and low-voltage installers use this type of device in residential and light commercial distribution systems where a single coax feed must serve multiple drops simultaneously. The 1 GHz frequency rating supports standard cable television, broadband internet, and digital cable signals carried over coaxial infrastructure. Each output port is female, accepting standard coax connectors for a straightforward in-line installation.

This splitter is suited for cable TV distribution in multi-room residential installs, MDU (multi-dwelling unit) wiring, or structured media cabinet applications where a single incoming coax signal needs to be split to eight separate locations. It is appropriate for use in systems carrying CATV, broadband, or digital cable signals up to 1 GHz. The 8-way configuration makes it practical for larger installations where signal is being distributed to several rooms or devices from a single head-end point.

Key Features

• 8-way signal split from a single coaxial input to eight female output ports
• 1 GHz frequency rating supports CATV, broadband, and digital cable signal ranges
• Female port configuration on all connections for standard coax connector compatibility
• Designed for in-line coaxial distribution in residential and light commercial applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-way coaxial splitter for use in CATV and broadband distribution systems requiring a 1 GHz-rated, 8-output passive splitter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or cable technicians in accordance with local codes and SCTE standards for coaxial signal distribution. Disconnect or power down any active signal amplifiers upstream before making or breaking coaxial connections. Note that each additional split introduces insertion loss, so signal levels at the head-end should be verified to confirm adequate signal strength at all eight output ports before completing the installation.
