Has anyone hacked their own splitter to the other end of this thing? What pair is used for (+) and what pair is used for (-) V? Ya ya, be careful...

According to the 802.3af standard that this device adheres to, Mode B will allow a "hacked on" passive splitter on the other end. The flip side is that while the specification requires support for both Mode A and Mode B the power injector automatically decides which mode to use and your "splitter" or end device has no choice in the matter. "In mode B, pins 4-5 (pair #1 in both T568A and T568B) form one side of the DC supply and pins 7-8 (pair #4 in both T568A and T568B) provide the return; these are the "spare" pairs in 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Mode B, therefore, requires a 4-pair cable." I purchased the TP-Link POE splitter, it is cheap, easy, works great. Mine had a choice of 3 common voltages (5v, 9v, 12v I believe) but other splitters have only 2 output voltage choices.

If you are replacing a passive splitter, this should help. Only trying it will tell for sure.

The splitters (2) that I tried at the input end would not work - the signal strength was too low. Just for interest I tried a splitter at the other end and zero signal. Also at the output end, even some 90 degree elbow adapters or HDMI keystones would drop the signal enough to be a problem. Bottom line is the cable is good, just have not found anything that is not a drain on throughput.

You can use splitter. Let me tell you I have returned this device it was not worth the price and signals were very weak.

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack

I doubt it. You have a single input with the same input split into two outputs.

O.K. So far so good==Got the system working with your suggestion of a FIOS STB box.Using a splitter I now can watch one program and record another== Here's the rub=== When setting the recording I don't understand how to indicate the Channel to record =-= all I get L1/ L2 /Ch3.. How can I set the channel wanted???

IF u split it u would have to get RCA jack replacement connectors.basically a waste of time&the; belkin cables ok?u can buy an "RCA"type splitter for this cable BUT u would need 2 belkin sub cables then ok?thts the best way to do this for running another extra sub cable to another room.i have mines set-up this way since i have 3 powered Sub total!u can buy rca splitter "Y" type jacks on amazon site just punch in "Y TYPE SPLITTER RCA JACKS"make sure u have rite type of end connectors when looking at the pictures of the jacks!!hope this helps u!?

In theory...that is the intent of the splitter. However, this particular item was a piece of crap. It failed within 2 months of purchase and would no longer properly split my HDMI signals. I recommend going with a splitter, but not this particular one.

Sorry never used it as a splitter before. Basically needed it to power a external harddrive on my older computer. The USB adapters on it didn't have enough power on a single adapter so I needed to plug it simultaneously into two ports to get the power it required.

I'm no engineer but combiners, spliters, and diplexer's are all different devices and are used in different situations. In the combiners case, I'm taking two of the same signals and moving them through one cable And I have no need to split the signals again. However, when your bringing in two different signals you need to combine the signals and then split them again. But here is a good explanation for you: http://forums.solidsignal.com/showthread.php/167-Diplexer-Splitter-Combiner-What-are-these-things

I don't know if my splitter was a Monoprice? but it was an optical splitter to connect a sound bar and a set of TV ears to a new flat screen LG TV. I also bought a short pig-tail to connect the splitter to the TV. We hae been using both for 6 weeks now and the splitter worked fine. It was also a TOSLink splitter.

It's not a splitter. It's a switch. It can choose 1 input out of 2 possible inputs. I use it to switch between my internet providers for a particular machine.

I did not get the 6x2 so I can not speak to that. However, the 2x1 or 1x2 bi-directional switch splitter box takes 1 input and allows it to go to either of 2 outputs. It only splits. It will not take 2 separate inputs to go to 2 separate devices.

I'm not sure, I purchased this as a replacement to my current setup which already had a splitter inline.

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

I bought this for a couple bucks a while back from another site and was hoping that it would work as a splitter (as you describe). It unfortunately won't work in reverse, so this will not work for you. You (and me) need a splitter.
