I am looking for a solution to have two LAN cables coming out of one Ethernet jack: 1 for my workstation/office &amp; 1 to Apple TV. Would this do it?

Yes - but not if you only use the splitter on the jack end near your workstation & AppleTV device. You MUST use the other splitter (comes in the set) on the opposite end of the cable that feeds the wall jack in question to patch that one jack to TWO open ports on your router/switch. This is NOT a splitter in the traditional sense you might be used to with a cable-tv (F-type coaxial) splitter where you can just magically make 1 outlet feed 2 devices. It it really a combiner-splitter where it sends two feeds over a single cable and then splits them back out on the other end. Please be sure that you have 2 open ports on your network router/switch equipment to feed these 2 devices BEFORE you order this. If you do - and you install it correctly - everything will work beautifully.

Yes, that's how I ran - one Ethernet cable. The separate 12V connector is in the case you don't have a POE switch.

No this won't work. You would need 2 of these to go to a router/switch if you wanted to share a single Ethernet line.

No. Echoing what the previous reviewer stated, this was something I used to connect my printer to a computer. My guess is that you are looking for an Ethernet cable to connect the computers, especially if you had just purchased a new Apple and were transferring your old data to the new computer, but I would verify this information with Apple first.

Hi Phil,Yes, this cable will certainly work to connect two routers or one router to a single device.Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222support@Mediabridgeproducts.com

I use one of them as input and another one as output for an in-house ethernet connection.

That is why i purchased it, not sure if it was defective, it just worked on one computer and not the other, so i have to move ethernet line to other computer when needed. For the price it may be worth a try.

I used a standard ethernet cable. Plugging one of these to each end allowed a crossover between two computers. I was creating an in-home LAN.

I was bale to enclose one power cable cord and a LAN/ethernet cable. You can say two ethernet cords or two power cable cords can fit in snugly. That should be it. You may find it difficult snapping on the cover for any more cables. They should make it wider to receive more than two cables.

No, I don't think you can just split the ethernet port like that. That too is what I wanted to do to be able to login to work on my laptop and still have access to my home computer as well. Essentially what you have there allows you to share the same ethernet wire. SO to use two computers like you wish they ethernet cable must be split at both ends (e.g. the end that connects to the two computers and then again at the end that connects to the ethernet switch or router). You will still each be using a separate port on the router.

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan

Yes, a Mac Mini needs two cables, but in my case at least it would always need two cables because I run video to my TV and audio to my AV receiver.BTW, I've had my Mac Mini media center for about a month now and am very happy with it.

Honestly it should work either way seeing as modern Ethernet is full duplex. However I typically use "in" as the cable coming from the "safe" side and "out" as the cable going to the "unsafe" side, aka the potentially dirty side. If you have two surge protectors on either end of a trunk cable that means that the two surge protectors would be connected to each others "out" ports. Works well for me.

As far as I know, if you are running two separate LAN cards on the same computer, they will only work if you have two different IP Addresses. So I don't think that will enable you to do what you are wanting to do.

This is a bridge. You would be able to connect multiple Ethernet devices to this bridge if you wanted. You're still using your WiFi. If you have a buffer problem this unit, or any other you purchase would not likely remedy that problem.

Yes, this coupler will connect the ends of two standard ethernet cables. However, unlike Mary M.'s response, the one coupler I purchased from this seller was perfect. The cable ends snapped into the connector tightly, absolutely no sideways or in/out wiggle. So I've had no issues due to a lost connection.

I have no idea if that would work but I have to ask why would you want to do that? Its a very expensive solution to use the multiport adapter ($77 from amazon) to replace a $20.00 Ethernet switch
