Hi Mini-Circuits will happily sell you DC injectors with a variety of connectors on them. For a basement lash up, there are satellite TV splitters at your local big box store that have DC inputs. Some of the lightning protection interfaces from people like PolyPhaser have DC bias inputs. Gain

I just went through this exercise. You can use DC blocking on all ports and an injector, but they also have splitters where one port is a DC-pass and the rest are DC block. You use the pass port for a device you’re just always going to have hooked up. In my case, it’s the GPS module on a Raspber
