What is the consequence of having inadequate isolation between splitter output ports?

Inadequate isolation between splitter output ports can lead to increased RF interference. When splitters are improperly isolated, signals can bleed between the output ports due to crosstalk or signal leakage. This can result in unwanted interference where signals intended for one output may affect another, degrading the overall signal quality. Increased RF interference can cause issues such as noise, ghosting, and even complete loss of signal, leading to poor performance in the system.

Improved signal strength, clearer picture quality, and reduced cable length are not likely outcomes of inadequate isolation. In fact, the opposite is true; poor isolation tends to weaken the signal quality and introduces more interference rather than enhancing the system’s performance.
