A splitter is a device used to split the cable signal to two or more devices. Sparklight technicians might install splitters to activate additional outlets within your home.

While you can install or remove splitters on your own, it is not recommended. For your equipment to work properly with your Sparklight equipment and provide clear reception, it must meet proper signal requirements. A splitter reduces the strength and quality of the cable signal to all devices connected to the splitter, which ultimately impacts your TV and broadband experience. A Sparklight technician can ensure that your equipment is receiving the proper signal level.
