Teardown of Cisco / Atlanta Scientific Cable TV combining amplifier. These small amplifiers are used in receiver stations with combining amplifiers to send out the different channels on a single cable. In houses a splitter is used to receive this signal and distribute to more households. Historically CATV is short for Community Antenna TV. A
