SWim Splitter Distance to Receiver

11-08-2010, 06:07 PM

I want to locate a receiver in a remote building approximately 500' away from the SWim Splitter. I am not getting signal on the box. What amplifier do I need and where is it inserted?

500' may be too long, but your best bet is the SWM inline amplifier here:

Thanks for the tip. Do you think I could use two inline amps to further the cause? Would running RG11 help the problem?

Thanks in advance

RG11 would definitely help. You might be able to use 2 inline amps, like 250ft apart, but I honestly don't know for sure.
