Split Your Signal, Not Your Quality: A Pro Guide to TV Splitters & Taps

You've installed a great antenna that's pulling in a strong signal, but now the client wants a perfect picture in every room of the house. Just using a cheap, low-quality splitter can kill your signal strength, leading to pixelation and dropouts everywhere. To do the job right, you need professional-grade TV splitters and taps designed to distribute the signal with minimal loss.

At SCHNAP, we stock a premium range of signal distribution components, ensuring crystal-clear reception whether you're working on a simple home setup or a large-scale commercial MATV network.

Splitters vs. Taps: What's the Difference?

Choosing the right component is crucial for a balanced system.

• TV Splitters (For Even Distribution): A splitter takes the input signal and divides it evenly among the output ports. A 2-way splitter sends roughly half the signal strength to each TV. They are the go-to choice for most residential homes and small offices where cable runs are of similar length.
• TV Taps (For Uneven, Cascading Systems): A tap is a more specialised component used in larger systems (like apartment blocks or hotels). It "taps off" a small, specific amount of signal for one outlet while passing the bulk of the signal downstream to the next tap. This ensures the last TV in the line gets a signal that's just as good as the first.

Key Features for Aussie Installers

Our range of TV splitters and taps comes with the features professionals demand:

• Power Pass: Many of our splitters feature power pass on one or more ports. This is essential as it allows DC voltage to travel back up the coaxial cable to power a masthead amplifier right at the antenna.
• Foxtel-Approved & Wide Frequency Support: We stock a huge range of Foxtel-approved components. With support for frequencies up to 2400 MHz, our splitters are perfect for systems that need to carry both standard Free-to-Air and satellite (Pay-TV/VAST) signals.

Advanced Distribution: Multiswitches

For modern apartment buildings or high-end homes with multiple satellite feeds, a multiswitch is the solution. This clever device combines signals from various sources (e.g., a terrestrial antenna and multiple satellite LNBs) and allows each outlet to independently select which signal to watch.
