. . We have done a lot of research on the subject of active mobile phone boosters. An active repeater looks like the unit shown in the photo and needs an external source of electrical power. We could certainly sell plenty but we believe it would be a very silly decision for us to sell them in Australia. Not only would be compromising our own business but we'd be compromising our customers too. The penalties are significant and Telstra in particular are looking for existing offenders.
So far we haven't heard them getting tough but that could change with the possibility of $250k fines...

SHV Connectors are available for a variety of coaxial cable types including RG58, and RG59. However, you do need to be aware that these cable types themselves are typically rated at 2kV peak voltage, or less, ( it can vary according to source) and that any cable assembly is only as good as its weakest component.

Using Directional Couplers and Splitters in Wireless Systems
Althought Directional couplers and splitters have different names they can usually be used in the same way. Because power transfer in passive systems is reciprocal, a splitter can work as a coupler and a coupler can work as a splitter.
Splitters usually, but not always, have equal power outputs whereas couplers may have equal power outputs (-3dB couplers) or may tap off just a fraction of the power in a coupled port.  ...
