Hi .. noticed a lot of tv splitters got this "power pass" or "all ports power pass", what does that mean ?? Are they better than those without "power pass" ?? Do they still have the 3.5dB loss per output on the 2 way splitter ?? Noticed those with "power pass" never state the losses on their splitters anymore ..

Is Belkin splitter good ?? Saw the 3 ways one for $10 only ..
Where can I get a 2 ways one ??

There's always some losses when splitting signal.
Power pass is supposed to have less losses compared with other ports.

However, this first picture "power pass" is misleading.

If you "power pass" all ports, then all 2 ports will have at least 3.5dB loss.
