[QUOTE="a33, post: 1161920, member: 332642"] You need a splitter with power pass ONE WAY on BOTH PORTS, so with diodes inside (diodes from receiver to LN:cool:. Power pass "both ways/both directions" has the same effect as the "T-splitter", and causes the voltage of one receiver to reach the other receiver. You don't need that. So just to have "power pass" on both ports is not enough indication of the actual situation, you need power pass ONE WAY. The first picture, in your first post, is ambiguous in that sense: it indicates 1A (1 Amp) with an arrow, seeming to be a one way direction, but on the other hand it indicates 1A= and 1A~, the latter would be for alternating current, so TWO WAYS power pass. So with splitters like these, I always check the power passing with a multimeter, or with a battery and LED. (There are, by the way, also splitters without power pass; often used for terrestrial TV or radio.) Greetz, A33 [I]Edit: a few additions and a small correction.[/I] [/QUOTE]
