I've no idea how or whether they amplify these lines.

Next:

Power Level
(dBmV) 12.84 12.82 12.79 13.30

If that's your new level from the cabinet, then attenuation due to distance isn't gonna be your problem! That will need bringing down to below 5 dBmv IMO allowing margin for cold nights.
I'll just repeat what I said. Once you know what's what (Line distribution or starred) you'll have a better picture of what's going on.

Are there CATV covers every 100m in your street?
