Attaching the Cable TV Wire to the Cable Modem
1.
Locate the Cable TV wire. You may find it one of three ways:
a.
Connected directly to a TV, a Cable TV converter box, or VCR. The line will be connected to
the jack, which should be labeled either IN, CABLE IN, CATV, CATV IN, etc.
b.
Connected to a wall-mounted cable outlet.
c.
Coming out from under a baseboard heater or other location. See Figure 1-6 for the wiring
example.
Notes: For optimum performance, be sure to connect your
Cable Modem to the first point the cable enters your home.
The splitter must be rated for at least 1GHz.
