COAX (SAT) cable splitter, permanent under the floor (junction box?)?
onesixright:
Hi All,
I hope everybody is doing alright!
I have a few rooms where on both sides I want to have a sat wall box (f-connector). Now these f connectors (from Schneider Unica) don't have a "pass thru" option.
What I need is to split the cable in the room but this will be under the floor. My concern is, once the floor is in, I will never able to reach this (without breaking).
Any ideas what would be the best way to install a junction box under the floor, via a some coax splitter or is there any other acceptable way of doing this?
Thanks!
Roger

why not just link from one wall box to the next?yea you might use a bit more cable but at least your joints are accessible

I would put the splitters in the walls behind the connector plates, keep in mind each splitter reduces the signal by a bit more than 3dB. An alternative would be coax connectors that have built in switches to pass the signal on if there's no cable connected, but those might be hard to find.

Thanks, the problem is the Schneider SAT unit, don't have an option for IN/OUT (so you can not chain multiple SAT wall outlets). See picture.

Thanks. Is this 3db loss specific to using a splitter?
