StarTech 2-to-1 RJ45 Splitter Cable Adapter

• NOTE: Cannot be used to share a single network line with two computers – use a hub instead

The RJ45SPLITTER 2-to-1 RJ45 Splitter Cable Adapter increases the number of RJ45 network connections on an RJ45 outlet, allowing two 10/100 Ethernet signals through a single Cat5/Cat5e wire.

On one end of the installation the splitter enables you to connect two patch cables from a hub or switch to a single port on a patch panel; while on the other end of the installation the splitter connects to a single Cat5/Cat5e network drop through a wall outlet which can then be split and connected to two separate devices. The patch panel and wall outlet are connected through a single Cat5/Cat5e cable.

Designed and constructed for maximum durability, this Ethernet Splitter Cable is backed by StarTech.com’s Li­fetime Warranty.

• Can the RJ45SPLITTER be used to split one Ethernet signal to work with two different network devices, like a router or switch?
  • This product does not split one network signal into two signals (like a two-port switch). Instead, it is meant to be used in pairs. You can use this cable when there is only one Ethernet run between locations, with two devices on the destination side and two Ethernet ports on the source side.
  • This cable cannot be used as an Ethernet splitter to get two ports when there is only one available at the source. In this case, only one Ethernet port will be functional.
  • If more than one Ethernet port is required at a location, the best solution is to use an Ethernet switch.

• Applications:
  • Allows two 10/100 Ethernet signals through a single Cat 5/5e wire
  • Ideal for 10/100Mbps Ethernet application (Not suitable for Gigabit network (1000Mbps)
• The StarTech.com Advantage:
  • Combine two cables into one RJ45 Wall outlet, and then split one Cat5/Cat5e line back out to two devices, using an RJ45SPLITTER at both ends of the installation
  • Guaranteed reliability
