Do splitters with DC pass-through have the same signal loss as those
without.

I've found vague things on the web and just now I found some RCA brand
splitters that said nothign about decibels anyhow. (A lot of splitters
say nothing, but RCA!?)

I would only be using one, but if necessary, I can plug the
powersupply in in the attic and use no such splitter.


If it is a quality unit, passing DC through should not increase the
losses appreciably.


Another thing I've noticed is that a lot of splitter in bubble-packs
come with milky-clear plastic caps over the threads. Have you notice
that?

This is totally bogus, right?

I've never seen a splitter with a damaged thread, certainly not one
that hadn't been sold yet.
