Cox Tuning Adapter Instructions
The Tuning Adapter helps you connect your Cox cable box to your TV. This device is designed to work with older installations of Cox cable services that required a specific type of connection. To use this adapter, you need to connect a coaxial cable from the wall outlet to the IN port of the splitter. Then, connect the POE filter to one of the splitter's OUT ports. Next, connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the POE filter and connect the other end of the new coaxial cable to the RF IN (CABLE IN) port of the adapter. Finally, connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the OUT ports of the splitter.
