The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Verizon name on a coax splitter carries some weight for FiOS subscribers, since these devices are specifically designed to work within that infrastructure. The PDI-2WWB-2 is small enough to fit in locations where bulkier splitters cannot, with dimensions of 2.5 x 2 x 0.75 inches and a weight of 1.94 lb.
At $17.99 it is more expensive than generic coax splitters but reasonable for a named-brand device with 167 reviews at 4.4 stars. That rating indicates buyers are generally satisfied with signal performance and build quality for the price.
No frequency range or insertion loss specs are published in the summary data. For typical FiOS or cable installations, a Verizon-branded splitter should be rated for the frequency range used by those services, but confirming those specs on the full listing is worthwhile if you are installing on a MoCA network or need to pass broadband signals reliably.
Pros
- Very compact at 2.5 x 2 x 0.75 in, fits tight spaces
- 4.4-star average from 167 reviews
- Verizon brand suggests compatibility with FiOS coax infrastructure
- No external power required for a passive splitter
Cons
- Priced at $17.99, more than generic alternatives
- No frequency range or insertion loss specs in available data
- Likely limited to 2 outputs based on form factor
Performance notes
Dimensions are 2.5 x 2 x 0.75 inches and weight is 1.94 lb. No frequency range, insertion loss, or port count is listed in the summary data. The compact size suggests a 2-way passive coax splitter. Confirm specs on the full product listing if MoCA or broadband passthrough is needed.
What buyers say
167 reviews at 4.4 stars indicates solid buyer satisfaction. The review pool is moderate in size but sufficient to reflect consistent performance. FiOS subscribers appear to be a significant portion of buyers, which suggests the product performs reliably in that specific context.

Frequently asked questions
Will this splitter work with Verizon FiOS?
The Verizon branding on this splitter suggests it is designed for FiOS coax installations. Verizon's FiOS infrastructure uses coax cable for set-top boxes and in some configurations for internet. The PDI-2WWB-2 appears designed for that environment, but confirming frequency specs on the full listing is wise if you are also running MoCA networking over the same coax.
Can I use this on a non-Verizon cable or antenna setup?
Coax splitters that use standard F-type connectors are generally usable across cable, FiOS, and antenna setups as long as the frequency range covers your service. Since no frequency spec is listed in the available data for this model, checking the full product page will tell you whether it is rated for the signal frequencies your service uses.
