Hey.
I hope this is the right forum...but I am curious. I just got cable internet installed. In the back of the cable modem where the coax from the wall plugs in...the cable installer added two FAM-6HR attenuators inline with the cable before plugging it into the wall. So here is what it looks like: coax cable > FAM-6HR > FAM-6HR > cable modem.
My question is...what is the purpose of these attenuators? I tried removing them, plugging my cable directly into the modem and my internet still works.
