4 PORT CABLE TV / HDTV / DIGITAL AMPLIFIER INTERNET MODEM SIGNAL BOOSTER INTERNET AMP
This is a brand new, four (4) port cable television drop amplifier, just like the ones that your local cable company uses to correct their system’s shortcomings. This new model packs a powerful punch in a compact, easy-to-install package! By connecting these fantastic signal boosters to the drop cable coming in from the street, you can increase the signal strength entering your home by up a whopping +7 db per port! If you have multiple televisions or run a cable modem for your internet, this product is recommended. By having four ports come directly off of the amplifier, there is no need for additional splitters, which reduce signal strength. If you are tired of tv pictures that don’t seem as clear as they should be, dropped internet connections, or just desire a reliable amplifier to give continuous, steady signal to your home or business, this is for you!

My digital signal was getting too weak using a splitter. Every splitter cuts the signal in half and my cable runs are 50-100′ each. I wanted to share 3 TVs on my attic antenna. Installing the PCT-MA2-4P in the attic next to the antenna, using a power inserter solved the problem. Just like each TV had is own 12′ long antenna. Many distribution amps require an AC outlet at the distribution amplifier and I didn’t want to install a duplex outlet in the attic. The PCT-MA2-4P with the power inserter allowed me to have the power supply at the TV set and distribute power over the coax cable. This solved my problem perfectly.
This amp works great. It has a clear, clean output that boosts the signal without adding artifacts and noise.
It’s the only one I use. I have an undergrad degree in engineering. I get tired of talking to people at the cable company who don’t know much about what they’re doing, and blame everything on the end user.
In particular, I get tired of poor splitters, poor amps and poorly shielded cable. With digital and HDTV, the days of settling for low quality signals are over. Radio Shack doesn’t cut it anymore.
Forget snow. Think pixelation, digital artifacts and no signal. This amp gets it done. Check Acoustic Research Coaxial F cables and splitters (antonline), Belkin HDMI cables and these signal boosters. Nothing works better, so why spend more on what Best Buy says is premium wire. Baloney. The only thing premium is the money they collect from the naive.
I had a new house that included a GE Smart Center with an amplifier for both cable and satellite. After the purchase of a new HD TV it was obvious the cable signal to the new TV that was 75 feet away from the GE amp was terrible. The cable signal coming into the house at the GE amplifier was good. Replaced the GE amp with this PCT amplifier and the picture was just like having the TV hooked up where the cable entered the house. It was an incredible difference and the PCT amp is literally 1/15th the size of the GE amp it replaced. The unexpected bonus to this purchase is the internet connection. The cable modem is now hooked up to the one port on the PCT amp that boosts the signal in both directions. It has speeded up the internet connection considerably. This product far exceeded my expectations which warranted this write-up. Be advised it only works with cable not satellite systems.
