Default 2 for 1

A friend of mine has a cable running into his house which he uses for his stb. he asked me if there was any way to use the same single cable to connect other stb's in other rooms e.g upstairs? i didnt know if he could or if theres a special connector for this so i thought id get some propper advice. so ultimaltley hes looking to use 2 stb's off 1 cable.

thanks guys
