[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1032504"] Update: What it looks like now. The nice technicians from the CATV company came by earlier this year, searching for sources of irradiation of noise on the cable feed. I had a phone-call from my wife saying "these people want to change something in your wiring...". The essence is that they were looking for bad connectors and bad filters that could be the source of RF irradiation on the cable-TV line, that made life difficult for some of our neighbours. Upon inspection of the installation (as in post #1 above), they deemed the CATV/DOCSIS splitter was in need of replacement, and all connectors was changed (no screw-on F-connectors on the splitter). As I was at work, I gave them the OK the change what the felt was necessary to make the neighbours happy again. The result was a working installation, but with some free-hanging cables (as I requested them not to affix any devices to the chip-boards). Using this as an excuse to clean up, I changed the installation to use (mostly) compression connectors, and at least double-shielded cabling. Result can be seen in the attached picture (note the grounding - I ran out of yellow-green wire, and had to resort to whatever was available (brown!)). [ATTACH=full]112127[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
