God, bing is not much better than google. Keep getting all these shopping results.
I found the following:
"A cable splitter is a small device that allows two separate coaxial cables to be run from a single outlet or similar type of cable source. These devices are often used in homes or businesses where only a single wall outlet for a cable signal is available, but multiple televisions, modems, or similar devices are needed for connection. A cable splitter can potentially degrade the signal quality coming from a cable outlet, and multiple splitters on a single line should be avoided."
I interpret that as meaning that the output can be split to multiple outputs.
