Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: setting an output port of a primary splitter to a first impedance to cause a mismatch with a second impedance of an input port of a secondary splitter and to cause an increased return loss and a reduced output port isolation, wherein the primary splitter is coupled to the secondary splitter by way of coaxial cables in a home coaxial network; detuning the secondary splitter coupled to the home coaxial network responsive to the mismatch thereby causing a reduction in a signal isolation between first and second output ports of the secondary splitter; bypassing via a capacitor each resistor of a plurality of resistors in the primary splitter and in the secondary splitter to establish at least one of a flat profile, a custom profile, or a combination thereof; and distributing from the primary splitter Ethernet signals over the home coaxial network to devices coupled to the home coaxial network by way of the first and second output ports of the secondary splitter.
