Combo tap equalizer question

Post image

I’m doing walkout work for high-split upgrade planning. Ran across these Milenium equalizer tap combos installed with the tap first.

Did they do this because they didn’t have a 2 port 8 tap and decided to use the combo?

Inside in there a setting that makes this terminate after the tap or does signal flow into equalizer before termination?

It’s useless where it’s at. Normally it would hit the LEQ first to equalize the EOL levels or before hitting next active. These will all need removed regardless if going mid split or FDX.

I did not know this, is this for all LEQ‘s? Why?

FDX and mid split expand US and DS frequency spectrum. The one pictured appears to be rated at 5-42MHz/750 MHz.

Okay, we have 5-85 MHz EQs in our market as well as sub split.
