Would the splitter be considered a splice and would it have to be in an accessible junction box?

I would do that....put it in an accessible box, that is....

SvenNYC: I would think that the splitter would be considered to be equipment. Hence the equipment and terminations would have to be accessible.

actually, that was my Q also Sven, and although crash (love the moniker ) generalizes i have not stumbled on a nec ref as yet...

It actually could be a fish job - the "field modified" box is a remodel type, with the flip-out wings.

Maybe the coax kept slipping down, so he found something to tie it to?

Blame it on Casper.

TG,

LOL!

Sorry folks. While it is indeed a crappy job, the RF cable, modified box and splitter are off limits in most AHJ's.

Class 2

Now the antenna or CATV point of entry must be bonded in accordance with NEC but that's it.

Your area does not enforce article 820 Community Antenna Television and Radio Distribution Systems?

LA County does not have any requirements for residential class 2. Not sure about the city codes.

Good point Bob. It is a common misconception, in the location that I live, that ALL "non power circiuts" (cable T.V., telephone, doorbells, cat5 data, intercoms, inwall stereo speakers, security systems, CCTV, ETC, ETC...) are class 1 or class 2 circiuts and are therefore not required to conform to code. If this were true, then why would article 820 have been written?
