Ideal Industries 85-132 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much signal will I lose per output with the Ideal 85-132 2-way cable splitter?
Figure 3.5dB to 4.0dB of insertion loss on each leg across the rated band. That is the normal penalty for a 2-way split, and it matters when you are already marginal at the tap: if the incoming level is low, splitting twice in series stacks roughly 7 to 8dB of loss and you will see pixelation on digital cable. Measure at the entry point before you split, and if you are short, an amplifier ahead of the splitter is the fix, not a different passive.
2) Can I mount an Ideal 85-132 cable splitter outside on a house or in a ground box?
The body is nickel-plated zinc, a corrosion-resistant finish Ideal calls out for indoor and outdoor installations. For an exterior mount, weatherproof every F-connection, use compression fittings rather than crimp, and put a boot or drip loop on the drops. Mount it where you can get back to it, and if it goes in a grounded enclosure, bond per your local electrical code.
3) What connectors does the Ideal 85-132 2-way splitter use, and do I need anything else to install it?
F-connectors, one input port and two output ports, on 75 ohm coax. You supply the cable and the fittings: nothing is included beyond the splitter itself. Terminate your RG-6 with F-compression ends, hand-tight plus a snug turn with a 7/16 wrench, and cap any unused port with a 75 ohm terminator so you do not get reflections back into the system.
4) Will the Ideal 85-132 splitter cause interference with the security camera coax running nearby?
Shielding effectiveness is greater than -120dB, which is the spec that keeps outside RF from leaking into the split and keeps the split from radiating into neighbouring runs. For CCTV coax and video surveillance drops sharing a chase or a panel with power, that shielding number is the one to check, and this device holds it across its full 5 MHz to 1 GHz range.
5) Are both outputs on the Ideal 85-132 splitter the same, or is one a stronger tap?
Both legs are equal. The 85-132 is a balanced 2-way, meaning the input divides evenly into two outputs with the same 3.5dB to 4.0dB loss on each. It is not an unbalanced or directional-coupler type, so there is no high-output port to save for a long run. If one drop is much longer than the other, equalise it with cable length or an amplifier rather than by port choice.
6) What is the exact part number for the Ideal 1 GHz 2-way cable splitter?
Ideal Industries part 85-132, the 1 GHz 2-way cable TV and general purpose splitter. It ships as a single model, so there is no finish, port count, or frequency option to specify on the order. Nickel-plated zinc body, 75 ohm, 5 MHz to 1 GHz.
