Product Description

"Terminators are necessary for use on open splitter or amplifier ports to prevent ghosting and other undesirable TV signal problems. When connections are left open, strong signals can reflect back through cabling system, causing ghosts in your TV picture.Open connections can also cause undesired visits from the cable company, since your cable signal can broadcast out through open connections and interfere with radio communications outside your home."

I don't have the equipment to do a really good test, but I use these on all my unterminated connections from an 8-way splitter/amplifier (Also purchased from this seller), and my reception seems to be very good. I used to have issues (glitches every few seconds in the audio, and the occasional breakup in video) with receiving ClearQAM digital cable into a Hauppauge HVR-1600, and I think adding these helped a bit. I then added the 8-way amp and got rid of all my splitters, and used a HDHomeRun instead of the HVR-1600, and digital signal is now ~98% on most channels, and basically never breaks up or glitches. Honestly, I think the HDHomerun and the amp are the biggest factors, but for the price of these terminators and assurance they are not leaking signals in they are worth putting on.

For starters, I am not an electricion, so I am not sure if this will really change the cable quality in my home, but if nothing else, it does cap off the unused cable connections in my home, and makes them look more finished.

The caps are silver in color, and screw on very easily.

One remarks is that the inside pin was bent on all of them, so I had to straighten it manually, which was not a big deal, but I can imagine one breaking off in transit or when 'fixing' it.
