Going to be adding a 4K Joey to my H3, but the coax running from the outlet doesn't seem to be long enough to reach the solo hub.

Dumb question, but is there a splitter or something I can use so that I can connect it with another coax in order to reach the hub itself?

Home Depot or lowes sells them. The center of the barrel is orange or blue or sometimes red.

Just don't get clear

My 3GHz are cream centers with black outside bands.

I don't think we can count on color coding. But I'd sure support such.

The actual name for these are F81 couplers, blue is the standard and usually means it's rated for 3Ghz.
