You're splitting your transmit signals and changing the Z (actual electrical resistance ) of the circuit when you "tap" without shore-power.
In addition to changing the resistance/impedance of the lines, there are also echo effect to consider. If you add a cable into the middle of another cable, you got three ends. One can only imagine what the frequency dynamic will look like. I'm sure that would be some funky ghosting of signals on the wire. Then again, I'm a digital guy, not an analog expert :) Cheers, Frank
