Reasons for Using an In-Line with In-Building 
Installations
Covering multiple rooms or even floors of a building can be challenging as each 
is a different size and shape . Balancing the signal coverage can require multiple 
attenuators, cables, taps and splitters . All of these can decrease your system gain 
and coverage . Reasons to install an In-Line include: 
1 .  Cable loss – Long runs of cable from the Inside Antenna to the main In-
Building Signal Booster may have significant loss or require Wilson 400 low-
loss cable .
2 .  Splitter loss – When multiple rooms must be evenly covered, a splitter evenly 
divides the signal for separate Inside Antennas . Each division reduces system 
gain and inside coverage area .
3 .  Tap loss – Taps pass the signal with low attenuation out one port and pass the 
signal with high attenuation port continues on to another location possibly with 
more splitters and taps downstream . The attenuation port typically runs directly 
to an Inside Antenna .
4 .  Increased system dynamic range – A user who gets too near an Inside 
Antenna can lower the gain and coverage area for all other users . The In-Line 
adds dynamic range to the In-Building installation and reduces use of the main 
Signal Booster automatic gain control .
The In-Line overcomes the losses associated with large In-Building installations . 
The In-Line recovers inside coverage area that is normally lost due to cable, splitter 
and tap loss . By installing the In-Line near an Inside Antenna, uplink noise figure 
is minimized and downlink power is maximized . Additionally, the In-Line enhances 
performance of the main Signal Booster by increasing the systems gain and input 
signal dynamic range . The variable gain knobs on the In-Line allow for simple, 
quick signal level balancing and installation .
