The headend has several modulators assigning frequencies for distribution to the CATV network. What distribution device should you use immediately at the headend to distribute the modulator's output signals to CATV system?

Question

A combiner is the best choice to distribute the modulator's output signals to the CATV system. A combiner is used to combine multiple RF signals into a single output, which is exactly what is needed in this scenario to distribute the modulator's output signals. A splitter will split a single input signal into multiple output signals, which is the opposite of what is needed. A directional coupler is used to measure or monitor a signal, and a multiport tap is used to tap into a signal for testing or distribution purposes, but they are not designed to combine signals like a combiner.
