Description
Variable value “in line” CoAx attenuator
We recommend buying a 6dB and a 12dB CoAx attenuator which (either singly or together) gives the option of 6dB, 12dB or 18dB attenuation.
Attenuators can be useful in discovering if you have sufficient signal to use a splitter (as opposed to an amplifier). If your signal is still fine with one of these inline (see through loss of splitters) a splitter will be fine, an amplifier is not required.
