Abstract
Home CATV networks comprise coaxial cables and signal splitters which have less than ideal characteristics. Home network testing facilities use long lengths of coaxial cables, often undesirably coiling and bending the cable, stressing joints on connectors. Cable connectors, cable placement, bending and flexing can cause leakage of signals and can result in undesired signal paths in a system causing deteriorated performance. The purpose of this paper is to bring to light the issues of signal leakage and radiation from shielded media such as RG-59 and RG-6 coaxial cables, furthermore signal splitters have less than ideal characteristics.
