Extreme Broadband Engineering BDS103VFB 3-Way Balanced Digital Vertical Coaxial Splitter

Product Identity

The Extreme Broadband Engineering BDS103VFB is a 3-way balanced digital vertical coaxial splitter built for premise, multi-dwelling unit, and business installations. Its zinc die-cast housing and fully soldered back provide structural rigidity and consistent electrical performance across all output ports. The white finish suits indoor distribution panels and weatherproof enclosures alike.

Upgrade Path

This splitter replaces older passive taps or unbalanced splitters that introduce signal loss and hum modulation on extended coaxial runs. The jump is worth it when installing or refreshing a distribution network that must maintain 1 GHz bandwidth across three outputs while meeting SCTE standards and UL listing requirements. Installers gain capacitive-coupled, pressure-sealed F-ports that preserve signal integrity in demanding environments.

Capacity and Headroom

The unit handles three balanced output paths at frequencies up to 1 GHz, making it suitable for modern broadband, digital video, and data services delivered over coaxial infrastructure. It runs out when a design calls for more than three outputs, higher frequency margins beyond 1 GHz, or non-F-type connector interfaces. For larger splits or different connector formats, a different splitter model is required.
