Hi. I have bodged together a workable setup with a masthead amp feeding into a splitter that feeds two lengths of cable & hence two TVs.
I used the screw on connectors, but really I need to re-terminate (I'll be back ho-ho!:facepalm:) with some crimp type & throw the splitter in a more waterproof box than the old diplexer box with silicon.
. . . Just saying that, maybe I will poke a hole in the house & put the splitter in the ceiling.
Either way the bends in & out of the masthead amp put strain on the cable so I want to crimp them. That's 5 crimps. The tools costs $40+ freight cheapest I've seen & I can't see me wanting to use it again.
Would anyone kindly lend me one for a few hours one fine weekend?
