- Simple installation process
- Widely compatible with various cables and signals
Cons
- Signal splitting can cause some degradation, leading to reduced picture quality or slower internet speeds if not properly designed or used in excess
- Limited by the number of outputs; more splits may require amplifiers to maintain quality
- Potential for increased interference with multiple splits
- Not suitable for long-distance signal distribution without additional equipment
