I need to feed 12 CATV outlets Can't Post

I am helping a friend who has 8 existing catv lines throughout his home. We added 4 more giving a grand total of 12 outlets. All cables are RG6. The cable line coming into the home looks fatter then normal, maybe RG11. It connects into a device mounted on the wall that has one RG6 looking cable that runs to a power transformer and another that runs to a splitter. Currently there is a total of 3 splitters to support the 8 cables (a 4 port running to a 3 port running to another 3 port).

I want to be able to add these additional 4 without affecting existing signal. What is the best way to do this? Is there a 12 port distribution device which will also help signal strength? If anyone can recommend specific parts I would appreciate it.

you may want to go to my web site http://catvjbs.com and download the install calculator form the downloads section, It is a simply excel calculator that you can figure the distance of drop wire and splitters and it will give you the total signal loss. You want 0db to 10db on each set on all channels. You also never want to re-amplify less than 0db.



Good Luck
