Which one of these Cable Splitters are better? for my internet and tv?
I recently got Roadrunner cable and i want to use an splitter on the coax
cable
so it will make it one for my router and one for my tv.
having higher DB better or worse? here i have two different splitters


The lower the DB number the beter the splitter. That is a number that
relates to loss. It is a log type scale. One db is about 25% loss. Three
DB is about 50% loss. Ten DB is 90% loss.

The best splitter would have a 3 db loss. This is not obtainable in
practice. 3.5 to 5 depending on frequency would be ok. Anything more than
5 db would be a poorer quality splitter.

As with anything , the advertising does not always mean you will get it.
