Engineered for cable TV networks (not OTA antennas or satellite systems), it amplifies signals in both forward and reverse directions so every output mirrors the input level. The unit includes weatherproof housing, surge protection, multiple mounting options and a bypass connection that preserves modem or VoIP operation during power interruptions when used with the correct power inserter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this splitter keep all connected devices running with equal signal strength?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe device uses a bi-directional active return design so each of the eight main outputs carries the same signal level as the input, in both directions. That means downstream set-top boxes and upstream devices like cable modems see identical performance without per-port imbalance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrue lossless splitting forward and reverse for matched input\/output levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEight amplified F-type outputs suitable for set-top boxes and cable devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCamPort auto-seizing F-ports for secure, consistent connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this amplifier with my cable modem or VoIP phone safely?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the unit includes a dedicated modem bypass port to keep a modem or VoIP device active even if the amplifier loses power, provided the bypass is configured correctly with an optional power inserter.

It ships with a power supply and three F59 terminators, but connection cables and the optional power inserter for remote powering are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo sets of mounting brackets for horizontal or vertical installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes power supply and three F59 terminators; cables not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional power inserter required for remote powering locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: This amplifier is ideal for homeowners, installers and small businesses that use wired cable TV distribution and need consistent, amplified signals across multiple devices — especially when several devices, including a cable modem or VoIP endpoint, must operate reliably. Avoid this unit for over-the-air (OTA) antenna systems or satellite installations, and confirm MoCA requirements with your cable provider before purchase. The product carries a two-year warranty on the amplifier and one year on the power supply, making it a practical choice when durability, surge protection, and equalized outputs are top priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this splitter compatible with satellite or OTA antennas?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This amplifier is designed for cable TV networks and is not recommended for OTA antennas or compatible with satellite systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the unit keep my modem online during a power outage?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, when used with the modem bypass and the correct power inserter setup, the modem\/VoIP device can remain operational during amplifier power loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Reliable Cable Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48449159200925,"sku":"B07YYM4KBL","price":91.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/9596\/1757\/files\/reliable-cable-products-amplifier-front-panel.jpg?v=1781628360","url":"https:\/\/nexoltic.com\/products\/reliable-cable-products-9-port-bi-directional-cable-tv","provider":"Nexoltic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
