Splitter function and wiring method

This 2-to-1 RJ45 splitter adapter connects two 10/100 Ethernet devices to a single Cat5 or Cat5e cable drop. It uses one RJ45 male connector and two RJ45 female ports to combine or separate the signals. A second splitter is required at the opposite end of the cable run to restore the two connections.

Installers with existing Cat5 drops needing two

Suits network installers who want to run two 10/100 links over one existing Cat5 or Cat5e outlet without pulling new cable. It will not work for gigabit speeds because all four pairs are not carried. Buyers who need to share one internet line between two computers without a second splitter at the far end should use a switch instead.

Requires a paired unit at the far end

The adapter only passes two 10/100 Ethernet signals when an identical RJ45SPLITTER is installed at the other end of the Cat5 or Cat5e line. Without the matching unit the two ports cannot be separated back into individual connections.

Questions about this item

What size RJ45 wall outlet does the male connector fit into?

The single RJ45 male connector plugs directly into any standard Cat5 or Cat5e wall jack or patch panel port.

How do I install the splitter so both 10/100 Ethernet signals pass through one cable?

Connect one splitter to the wall outlet and a second splitter at the far end; each female port then carries a separate 10/100 link over the same four-pair cable.

When should I replace the adapter if the plastic latch tabs stop clicking?

Replace the unit when the RJ45 male or either female jack no longer locks securely, which typically occurs after repeated insertions or if the white housing cracks.
