The product worked well; my reception with no 2-way passive splitter before the amp is the same as my reception after installation of a passive 2-way splitter, one branch feeding the amp, the other my cable modem.

The instructions on the box indicate the cable modem could be fed through the amp, but the instruction sheet inside says to use a passive splitter. I wish they could either get their story straight, or explain the pros and cons if there really is no clear answer.

The listing does not make it obvious, but the power supply plugs in indoors (120 V AC) and is routed through a coax to the amp, which could be outdoors, becase the housing is weathertight. Just be sure to use waterproof coax connectors if using it outside.

You supply your own mounting screws and coax. Rating: 4 / 5

I was having trouble with my digital cable signal becoming too weak after just 2 splices. This boosts my signal to give us enough margin that we don’t have the DVR flaking out, or loosing the programing guide in the digital receiver box. It saves us a lot of hassle.

Very nice and well made drop amp which did a great job of boosting our cable service reception.

We have RxxxRxxxxx cable for our internet and it is fast and is split onto its own line by the installer at the entrance box at the corner of the home. I did not run it through the drop amp because we have 4 TVs to hook up and we were having no problems with the internet.

Wow, what a difference having all 4 TV ports boosted ... easy to install and well made. In the past we were splitting the one TV cable into a 4 port splitter without amplification.

Too, you can't help but love that 10 year warranty from a good company.

There is one slightly cheaper drop amp that I nearly bought but I found this one very nice! It UPOD ... under promised and over delivered! Not many things do that these days!

Thank you Electroline and Amazon for a great product for improving our cable service by 100%.
