If you have 60 foot of RG6 you would have 6 dB of loss at 2500 MHz[1]. That is a factor of 4. So you would only have a quarter of the normal signal and output power.
If you use a splitter you have to take that loss into account as well.

- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoOK sure, but putting my access point six feet from my laptop (as it is right now) gives about -40dBm from what I think is 100mW of power and that's regarded as a pretty excellent signal strength. So if we're starting from a place where -60dB is "excellent" then we probably don't care about 6dB of losses so much.
- ale42 4y agoActually, the loss can be useful, I wouldn't want to inject the full output power of the transmitter into a receiver... ok it's maybe just 100 mW but still... that's not the power level a receiver expects to get from an antenna.
