This isn't RFI...but guys with the answer may reside
on here.
I recently ran into a situation where my cable modem
stopped working due to low signal. Part of the problem
was traced to the cable provider. However, in the course
of this, a 1x2 splitter which had been measured as having
3.5dB insertion loss, went bad.
I replaced it with a 1GHz rated splitter, and things came
back to normal. In the course of this, I was treated to
a lecture from a radio shack staffer on how these passives
"burn out" from trying to pass wide bandwith signals.
(The one I pulled was only rated to UHF.)
Pure nonsense, of course. But there IS the question of
what happened. Anyone have a clue?
