AXING BAB 4-16P - 4-Way Satellite Tap, 16 dB Tap Loss, 5-2400 MHz, F-Connectors

In satellite TV distribution systems, the AXING BAB 4-16P is used by installers to split the signal from a main trunk line to four subscriber outlets while maintaining a strong through signal for downstream taps. This 4-way satellite tap features a tap loss of 16 dB on each output and a low through loss of 2.0 dB (5-1000 MHz) or 2.5 dB (1000-2400 MHz), ensuring efficient signal distribution across the 5-2400 MHz frequency range. The die-cast zinc housing provides durability and shielding effectiveness greater than 100 dB, making it suitable for indoor wall-mounted installations.
