Thinking about rewiring the coax that's accessible in the unfinished part of my basement. It's all RG-59 and I'm thinking to replace with RG-6. I'm currently using MoCA 2.5 with a 4-way passive MoCA splitter. I'm thinking to eliminate a daisy-chain setup consisting of 2-way splitter in a junction box and run both wires direct to the main splitter. That means I'd need to change to a 5-way. They seem very rare, I can only find 6-way passive MoCA splitters with 10-10.5dB drop.

It's advertised as being upstream/downstream unity gain. Do they actually work? What are the pros and cons?
Cheapest option is just to go with a cheapo 2-way splitter (which I own plenty) and run that to 2 rooms where I don't have MoCA endpoints so that it would end up 11dB x2 and 7dB x3 to the 3 rooms that do.
