Cable splitter question

The answer seems, to me, to be an obvious 'yes' but anyway...

If I take a signal and 1:2 split it then 1:2 split one of those 2 signals again the 2nd split would only be affected as far as signal strentgh. true?

In other words, the first split would still maintain the same signal strength level after the initial split and only the 2nd split signal would be lowered after it was split again?

Yes. The first split will give you just less than half the signal at each output (about 3.5db loss). The second split will do the same thing. So you will end up with one output at 3.5db down. And two outputs from the second splitter will be 7db down.
