Check out the MOTM 910. Unlike a Y-cable you can go from a 2-way mult to a 3-

Just to inform you, I did an entire four and a half minute MOTM piece without
using any MOTM multiple ever. Y-cables were used a few times, but those little
Radio Shack one male to two female adapters were used all over the place. As
one member simply put it, they turn one jack into two. You can daisy chain a
singal to as many destinations as you want with them, just like Banana cables.
This reduces cable count in your patch, and anything that gets any additional
cables out of my way is a good thing.

Not so, as shown in my above statement. Even Y-cables increase elegance. It's
so much cleaner to use one cable with a Y slitter on the end then to run an
unnecessary cable to the nearest multiple, then run two cables from there back
to where you want to go. One cable with a Y connector replacing three cables is
a cleaner more elegant solution. And if you decide the last minute you need to
go to a third destination, just pop one of those earlier mentioned adapters
under one of the Y connections and add another cable and you're done.
