Re: How to split cable for modem

["BruceR" <brNOSPAM@xxxxxxxxxx>]

True, but for a cable modem a tap is usually placed at the entrance and
then the cable modem is served by the tap and the remaining output goes
to the amplifier (if required) and then splitter.  However, if a 2 way
amplifier is used that supports the return path, as used by cable modems
and digital boxes, then the tap probably won't be required. There are a
number of cable amps with return path (2 way) listed on ebay. If you use
a digital box on a one way amp you won't be able to buy PPV, vote or
order a pizza through your cable box.
