Dear Joe,

There are many different types of splitters and your question was not specific.

Advanatge of CATV splitters is a single cable can serve mutiple devices; Disadvantage singal loss

Advantage of using a splitter on unshielded twisted pair cable to have both data and telephone on a single cable; disadvantage is cross-talk and interference between the services.

Sincerely,
Joseph Golan, RCDD
