6-Way Splitter
The WS6W 6-Way Splitter (also power divider or power splitter and, when used in reverse, power combiner) is a device for evenly splitting or combining signal power (up to 50 W) in a cellular amplifier system. Typically, the Splitter is used to connect additional antennas and/or devices.
This signal splitter is necessary, for example, when four indoor antennas are used to supply four rooms with an equally strong mobile radio signal.
If less than four antennas are connected, a “dummy load” must be connected to the free outputs of the 6-Way Splitter.
WS6W supported frequencies & standards
- 700 MHz – LTE700 (5G)
- 800 MHz – LTE800 (4G)
- 900 MHz – EGSM/GSM-900 (2G), UMTS900 (3G)
- 1800 MHz – GSM-1800 (2G), LTE1800 (4G)
- 2100 MHz – UMTS2100 (3G)
- 2600 MHz – LTE2600 (4G)
Main features of the 6-Way Splitter
- Small and light aluminum housing
- Convenient attachment to any surface
- High-quality N-Female standard connectors
- Support for all frequency bands
- Low losses allow high power operation
How to choose the suitable Splitter for a mobile signal booster
When choosing a splitter, you should pay attention to the features.
- Number of ports – the number of channels to which the Splitter can split the signal. Always choose a splitter with the number of ports you need. Remember that the more ports, the greater the attenuation of the signal. Only use the 6-way Splitter if it is necessary.
- Design – some splitters look like a tube with a core inside or like a box with a circuit board. The features of such splitters are very similar. So, choose a 6-Way Splitter because it makes it easier to connect coaxial cables. Sometimes the connection layout helps to save the length of coaxial cables. This helps to avoid unnecessary signal loss.
- Frequency range – some splitters work with signals in a narrow frequency range; others have a wide working bandwidth. The bandwidth should be 700-2700 MHz or greater.
- Loss is an indicator of the power of the split signal (how much lower the power is at each output compared to the input power).
- Attenuation is the loss of a useful signal due to the operation of the Splitter itself. The less attenuation, the better.
- Peak input signal power
- Impedance – for mobile devices – 50 ohms, for televisions – 75 ohms. The 50 ohm splitters only are suitable for use with Rangeful mobile boosters.
- VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) – the lower this indicator, the better.
