screw-on; the screw-on connectors are best for use with your Telephony
Gateway. The coax should be long enough to reach from your Telephony
Gateway to the nearest cable outlet.

Provides an extra cable connecon by spling a single outlet into two. You
may need a splier if you have a TV already connected to the cable outlet
that you want to use. You can buy a splier from any electronics retailer
and most discount stores; you may also need a short piece of coax cable
(with connectors); use it to connect the splier to the cable outlet and then
connect the Telephony Gateway and TV to the splier.
Note: Using several spliers in a line may deteriorate the quality of
your television, telephone, and/or internet connecon.
