Ideal Industries 85-132 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What's the difference between the Ideal Industries 85-132, 85-133 and 85-134 coax splitters?
They differ only in output count. The 85-132 is the 2-way, the 85-133 is the 3-way, and the 85-134 is the 4-way. All are 75 ohm coaxial splitters covering 5 MHz to 1 GHz with nickel-plated zinc bodies and an internal printed circuit board. Order by way count based on how many drops you need off the single input.
2) Will this splitter work with digital cable and internet on the same coax run?
The frequency range runs 5 MHz to 1 GHz, which covers digital cable TV and the return path starting at 5 MHz, so it passes both downstream and upstream traffic on a 75 ohm system. It is a passive splitter, so every leg loses signal. On the 3-way (85-133) the output is unbalanced: one port at 4 dB loss and two at 8 dB. Put the modem or the most signal-sensitive device on the 4 dB port.
3) What does unbalanced output mean on a 3-way cable splitter, and does it matter which port I use?
It matters. Unbalanced means the three outputs are not equal: on the 3-way, one port drops 4 dB and the other two drop 8 dB. Internally that is a 2-way split with one leg split again. Feed your longest cable run or your cable modem from the 4 dB port, and put shorter TV runs on the 8 dB ports. A balanced splitter would instead lose the same amount on all legs.
4) Can I mount this coax splitter outside in a pedestal or demarc box?
The body is nickel-plated zinc, a corrosion-resistant finish the manufacturer rates for indoor and outdoor installation. That said, the install sequence calls for securing it in an enclosure or mounting location that protects it from environmental exposure, so treat it as suitable for a weather-resistant demarc box, ground block enclosure or pedestal rather than bare open-air mounting.
5) Is this splitter shielded well enough for a multi-tenant riser where signal ingress is a problem?
EMI/RFI shielding effectiveness is greater than -120 dB, which is the level you want in a multi-tenant riser or any high-noise environment where ingress and crosstalk between units cause complaints. The zinc housing with an internal PCB keeps impedance consistent across the 5 MHz to 1 GHz band, limiting reflections on shared distribution.
6) Should I use a 4-way splitter or two 2-way splitters for four TVs?
For four drops off one feed, the 85-134 4-way is the cleaner install: one device, one set of connections, and a predictable loss figure per leg. Cascading two 2-way 85-132 units gets you there too and lets you put unequal loss where you want it, but it adds two more connector pairs and another point of failure. If one device needs a stronger signal than the rest, the unbalanced 3-way 85-133 plus a separate feed is often the better layout. All three are 75 ohm, 5 MHz to 1 GHz.
7) Will a passive coax splitter pass power to my amplifier or powered device?
These are passive splitters with no stated power passing on any port. They distribute signal only, from one input to two, three, or four outputs, so do not count on them to carry DC to a mast amplifier or powered LNB. If your system needs a power-passing leg, specify a splitter rated for it rather than assuming it here.
8) Can I use this splitter for CCTV coax runs, not just cable TV?
Yes. It is a general purpose 75 ohm coaxial splitter, and CCTV and security camera signal distribution is one of the stated applications alongside cable TV, broadcast, and RF distribution in industrial and control systems. Since it is passive with 4 to 8 dB of loss per leg on the 3-way, account for that budget on long camera runs.
