The Planet waves are looked down on from the cable industry because of ingress and egress from poor shielding at the connector. My assumption because of screw design. Not a 360 degree compression. Same as twist on and poor electricians using pliers and leaving a 1/2 in of braid hanging out. Ingress follows the cable and enters the drop system wherever the shielding is poor. Causing HSD issues and video issues if severe enough. Egress is another story. System must be closed to use the frequencies cable systems use. Simple because leakage causes interference with other users of same frequencies. And the FCC does fly overs detecting and mapping these leaks as does the cable companies. Ever had a customer trapped for noise? Really want to screw up HSD for a node, back feed Directv/AT&T onto the house coax and drop system still connected to a tap.
