How to hook up new cable to splitter?
I have cable and they put it on a 2-way splitter. My cable guy left me extra wire (only wire, no connectors) so I could run it through the wall to my upstairs bedroom. I bought a 4-way splitter and the connectors (ends) to the cable wire. However, when I hooked it into the new splitter I’m not getting cable on the tv upstairs…only 2 channels. Why is that?
Your hookup should be like this. Out of the wall, into the 2-way splitter “INPUT”. Out of the splitter “OUTPUT” with one line going to the TV downstairs & the other line going upstairs.
Make sure your cable is stripped back enough to put your connectors on & that the center conductor is not shorting to the silver foil or braid on the outside.
Try & use the 2-way instead of the 4-way splitter because you’re only losing signal by going 4-way especially if the 2 unused OUTPUTS are not capped.
Good Luck
