The following diagram illustrates a typical PC/TV installation.♦ Cable TV Wall Outlet This is the normal cable TV wall outlet installed by your cable company. If youplan to connect both your TV and your computer to the cable TV wire, the cable TV wall outlet shouldconnect to a splitter.♦ Splitter This unit, usually provided by your cable TV company during installation, splits the signal onto asecond wire. The two wires coming out of the splitter can be connected to your TV (or set-top box), and thecable modem.NOTE: 1. If your cable TV company does not provide a splitter or you chose to buy your own, make sureyou get one with sufficient frequency range (the range should be printed on the splitter). Arange of 5 to 1000 MHz should be adequate. The splitter should provide EMI isolation.2. Only one splitter should be placed between the point where the cable TV line enters the houseand the Cable Modem/PC (see figure above). If you have multiple TVs, split the line between thefirst splitter and the TV, not the line between the splitter and the Cable Modem.3. WARNING: Do not use amplifiers in the line leading to your Cable Modem. Not only do mostamplifiers only amplify incoming signals, while your Cable Modem receives and sends signals,but they are also likely to distort cable modem signals.
