I asked a question some time ago about Internet wiring. Since Iwill be
opening walls I want to run the TV cable to the same rooms I will be
running Cat5e cable. What the best way to put splitters. Right now I
have 2-way splitter at the entrance. One end goes into family room
with TV and another goes to office with cable modem. I need to run
cable to three more bedrooms upstairs. The best would be to replace 2-
way splitter with three-way splitter and run one end to the artic and
then put there three-way splitter and run cable to each bedroom. Will
it work?

Also what kind if splitters are the best?


the best way is to run "home runs" to every location from a central
point. Do the 'splitting' and mixing at that point.

AMEN!
My incoming signal hits a 6-way splitter, and then home runs out to
the TVs. I have a TV co-located with my internet, and the modem is
split out at that point
