Signal Attenuator for Coaxial Lines

The Holland Electronics FAM-6 is a 6 dB attenuator pad designed for in-line installation on coaxial cable runs. It reduces excessive signal strength that can cause auto buzzing or degraded picture quality on certain channels. The grey universal housing suits residential and light-commercial RF distribution systems. Installers use it to balance levels from multiple sources without active components.

Fixed 6 dB Reduction With Simple In-Line Fit

Each pad cuts the signal by a rated 6 dB, providing a predictable drop that tames hot feeds from amplifiers or close-in transmitters. Multiple pads can be combined in series to reach the exact attenuation a given drop requires. The device handles typical CATV and off-air frequencies but offers no amplification, so it cannot compensate for weak signals. Weight is 0.0400.

Passive Coaxial Attenuation Only

This part is a purely resistive RF attenuator with F-type threading; it does not amplify, filter or convert signals. Buyers who need variable gain, slope correction or DC blocking must select a different device. No power supply or configuration is involved.

Questions about this item

Will the FAM-6 attenuator work with my existing coaxial cable setup?

The FAM-6 screws in-line with standard coaxial cable to reduce signal strength by 6 dB, balancing levels from different sources without replacing your current wiring.

How can I verify the FAM-6 is reducing signal strength correctly after installation?

Check for improved picture quality and the elimination of auto buzzing on affected channels, which indicates the 6 dB reduction is properly balancing the hot signal.

What comes with the FAM-6 and do I need any extra parts to install it?

The package includes the grey 6 dB attenuator pad itself; no additional components are required as it screws directly onto your existing coaxial connections.
