I know I need the decent stuff (WF/CT100), but I need to extend both TV and broadband by about 5 metres.
At present there is a short run at the main outlet into a splitter marked 3.6dB and 4.0dB. the 4.0dB outlet supplies the superhub, the 3.6dB to the TV. On the superhub inlet is a 15dB forward path attenuator. On the TiVo box is a 10dB forward path attenuator. I have no idea what these are or what they do, so . . .
Does any of this affect me extending the outlet from the wall before the splitter by about 5 metres with a length of good quality cable? My thought being that these attenuators are installation specific based on some measurement of signal etc, that extending the cable would change.
And what do these attenuators do?
