Seriously... I only know of one type of cable splitter. It uses resistors
which produce 6db loss (per leg) in the resistors alone. Yes the ones the cable
companies use are better built but they still use resistors and therefore are
very lossy. I use a table for attenuator pads in my old Allied Radio
Electronics Handbook when I make my own splitters.
By chance are you thinking of RF couplers which are basically RF transformers?
