Long story short... I am selling my place and after dealing with lacking Cable TV/Internet signals and non-working coax outlets for years, I had all my water piping replaced and now many places above the ceiling are still accessible. I want to make sure that all the coax cabling I have are setup with the least amount of signal loss for Cable TV and Internet using the same coax cable. I know that Comcast etc likely use a signal amp, but that's besides the point.

I have attached a layout of what I have. Marked all outlets with yellow, one in each room. (What outlet should I use? One that has a double sided female?) Marked with green all existing coax cable terminations. Marked with red a bare coax cable end without any connector/termination.

The main cable from the street comes in between the two bedrooms "IN". It's a terminated with a "F"? female connector. There will be one outlet in each bedroom in the wall between the two bedrooms using the same box in the wall. Then I have a both ends terminated cable going from there to the ceiling that will not be accessible anymore.

Here I have two terminated cables, (one each) from the loft and one from the living room. Since the next owner will not have access to this termination point in the ceiling/wall area of the loft, I do not want to put a splitter here. I will instead extend the terminated incoming cable coming from the bedrooms with a female "F" coupler into a box in the wall of a storage/utility room next to the loft. There it will split using a simple "F" coax T-fitting towards the loft and the living room.

In the living room that cable currently ends as a bare coax. I will add an F-female connector or crimp on an "F" male connector and join them with a coupler. There will be no access to them since it's above the ceiling. Then I will terminate the cable in the living room outlet.

In general, should I use an actual coax cable 2-way signal-splitter (what frequency range for Cable TV/Internet modem?) Or instead just use plain coax couplers and "T-connectors"?

EDIT: Will need two splitters. One right by the service entry point for two two outlets, and one that brings together the loft/living room. Should I use a splitter-box or splitter cable-ties?
