2-way splitter Televes VT24FZ 5–1218 MHz 4 dB

The 2-way splitter Televes VT24FZ 5–1218 MHz 4 dB is a passive RF device designed to divide a single input signal into two outputs while maintaining predictable performance across a wide frequency range. Compact and mechanically robust, this splitter fits into TV and RF distribution installations where a single antenna, amplifier or line must feed two receivers or downstream devices. The unit supports frequencies from 5 MHz to 1218 MHz with an insertion loss of approximately 4 dB, ensuring consistent signal distribution for terrestrial TV, satellite IF distribution in applicable bands, and other RF applications within the specified range.

Advantages

The Televes VT24FZ offers low and stable insertion loss across its operating band and a compact form factor that simplifies mounting in wiring cabinets or near antenna systems. As a passive splitter, it requires no power supply and provides galvanic isolation between outputs, reducing potential interference paths. The device is engineered for predictable impedance matching and minimal return loss within the stated frequency range, supporting reliable signal routing in domestic and professional installations.

Suitable for

• Splitting a single antenna or line to feed two TVs or receivers
• Small-scale RF distribution in residential and light-commercial installations
• Connecting an amplifier output to two downstream devices
• Field installations where a compact, passive splitter is required

Key specifications

• Frequency range: 5–1218 MHz
• Insertion loss: 4 dB (typical)
• Number of outputs: 2-way split
• Passive device: no external power required
• Impedance: 75 ohm nominal
• Compact mechanical design suitable for mounting in distribution boxes

How to use

Connect the incoming RF feed (antenna, amplifier output or signal line) to the splitter input using appropriate 75 Ω coaxial connectors and cable. Connect each output port to the target devices or distribution lines with 75 Ω coaxial cable, ensuring secure connections and proper cable routing. Avoid excessive bending or stressing of coaxial cables at connector junctions. For best results, place the splitter in a shielded or weather-protected location if used outdoors or in humid environments.

Recommendations

Confirm that the total path loss including splitter insertion loss and cable attenuation does not degrade the received signal below the minimum required by connected equipment. When chaining multiple splitters or using long cable runs, consider the cumulative loss and, if necessary, use an amplifier or lower-loss distribution topology. Keep connectors clean and use corrosion-resistant fittings in outdoor or damp locations.
