Passive coaxial splitters divide an incoming coaxial signal among multiple locations without requiring power, making them suitable for distributing cable or HDTV signals to several connected devices. Active HDMI-over-coax extenders convert and transmit HDMI audio and video over a single coaxial cable, with features such as 4K support, signal equalization, and bidirectional infrared control.

Installers should match the module’s output count to the number of locations, confirm its supported frequency, and account for signal loss across the coaxial runs. They should also consider enclosure space, passive or powered distribution, and whether the installation needs integrated telephone and Ethernet connections or HDMI transmission over coax.

Coaxial video distribution modules can support HDMI audio and video, including up to 4K at 60 Hz and HDR10, when paired with an HDMI-over-coax extender designed for those signals. Certain extender solutions also provide bi-directional infrared control over a single RG6 coaxial cable, while passive coaxial splitters distribute incoming video signals to multiple locations.

Coaxial video distribution modules mount inside structured wiring enclosures to route an incoming coaxial signal to multiple rooms through organized, passive connections. Combo modules can bring video, telephone, and Ethernet distribution together, while coax-based HDMI extenders can use existing coaxial cable to connect compatible source and display equipment.
