best for use with your Telephony Gateway. The coax should be long enough to reach from
your Telephony Gateway to the nearest cable outlet.

You may need a splitter if you have a TV already connected to the cable outlet that you
want to use. You can buy a splitter from any electronics retailer and most discount stores;
you may also need a short piece of coax cable (with connectors); use it to connect the
splitter to the cable outlet and then connect the Telephony Gateway and TV to the
splitter.
