Blake External Masthead Splitter/Combiner

Masthead splitter/combiner screened with power pass is a device used in TV installations to split or combine signals from an external digital antenna. 

It is typically installed outside near the antenna, and it helps to distribute the signals to multiple devices or combine signals from different sources. Here are some key features of this type of device with 1 input:

Input: The device has one input port where you connect the signal source, such as an external digital antenna. This input port is used to receive the incoming signal.

Splitting/Combining: The primary function of the device is to split or combine the signal from the input port. If you have multiple devices that need to receive the signal, the splitter function allows you to split the signal into multiple outputs, usually labelled as "outputs" or "out." On the other hand, the combiner function allows you to combine signals from different sources into a single output.

Power Pass: Some masthead splitters/combiners have a power pass feature. This means that the device allows the passage of DC power from one side of the splitter/combiner to the other. It enables you to power an active digital antenna system through the device, eliminating the need for an additional power source.

Screening: The device is screened or shielded to minimize signal interference and maintain signal quality. The shielding helps to prevent external electrical interference or noise from degrading the signal performance.
