Question about cable splitter
I currently have my Comcast coax feed connected to a splitter providing signal to 2 of my bedrooms. My house has a total of 6 coaxial hookups. Currently the 4 remaining wires are just capped off.
Is it possible to get a splitter to have them all (the jacks) connected/live? It would essentially have to be a 6 way splitter or would I need some sort of signal booster for this?
Can anyone recommend a splitter or device to accomplish this? I should also note that I have cable internet so one of these feeds is going to the cable modem if that makes a difference.

You will need an ethernet switch for that may drops. Splitting a signal 6 ways will degrade it so much as to render it unusable.

Huh ??? 2 different things.
@trevorhiller1
First try using a passive six-way splitter such as one of these: https://www.amazon.com/6-way-cable-splitter/s?k=6+way+cable+splitter
If you find that the signal strength at the outlets is insufficient, try using a zero loss powered splitter / drop amplifier like this: https://www.amazon.com/Bi-Directional-Cable-Amplifier-Telephone-Terminators/dp/B08BRK51NJ?ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.08f69ac3-fd3d-4b88-bca2-8997e41410bb
