Am I correct that with this splitter, one pair of the Cat5 cable is used for one device and the other pair is used for the other?

Using this device will allow you to free up a port on your appliance, and split data between two devices on your network. I use it to split power, and data for two devices to one port. This device Has been working flawlessly for close to a year now.

Yes. This splitter allows one Cat5 cable to be used as if it were two. Keep in mind, when you split the cable, you will only be able to connect devices at 100Mbps. You will not get 1Gbps anymore.

Not sure exactly what you're asking. I assume that have 2 devices that require an internet connection and a single router that has one RJ45 input from a modem. The router must have at least 2 output ports, 1 for each of the internet-requiring devices. Connect 1 Cat5 cable from each router output port to the side of the splitter that has 2 receptacles. On the other side of the splitter connect another Cat5 cable. The other end of the latter cable connects to the single receptacle side of the second splitter. Then connect 2 Cat5 cables to the other side of the second splitter, and connect each of these to the ethernet ports of the 2 devices that you want to share the internet connection. The kit only supplies 3 short cables so you will need a fourth in addition to the one that connects the 2 splitters. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, but keep in mind, this device does not split a port. It merely allows you to connect two ports on your router to a single run of Cat5 cable. It helps in keeping cable clutter down and simplifying long cable runs. Since only three short cables are supplied, you will have to obtain another Cat5 cable of suitable length to complete installation.

One RJ45 with internet in and through USB 2.0 with adapter to RJ45 out to another device.So with one Cat 5 cable you can feed 2 devices.Works perfect

I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't say this is a splitter... I use it to connect my cable box and my computer into one screen. Beware tho, that the automatic switch function doesn't really work very well. It'll switch from my TV to computer just fine, but never the other way around. If you don't mind having to push the little button on the device each time to switch devices, then this works fine. Hope I could help!

Why would you need a splitter - This cable is 25 feet long and it worked great for my application. All I used it for was to hook my laptop up to my TV. I would think a splitter might degrade the signal strength a little. There are longer cables if you need them. Look into the specifications of the splitter you intend to use for more information about its limitations. Good Luck

No, this device converts one cable into two separate connections for two separate devices and you need two separate connections to your router at the other end.

No I don't think it works that way. You need two outs from your switch/router to go to the two inputs, then you need 2 coupling for the RJ45 that will run in the middle and connect the two. The only advantage of using this is that you don't have to run two cable just one.

Yes, this CAT 5 cable is the same as an Ethernet cable. I used this cable to connect my own TV to my router.

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.

THIS IS NOT A SPLITTER. a splitter takes one devies ie, cable box and splits it on 2 or more outputs. ie 1 hdmi IN and 2 hdmi OUT..... THIS IS A SWITCH. hence it switches. it has 3 hdmi IN and 1 hdmi OUT that you manually switch the sources

no. this splitter starts at one source and goes to two different tvs. not one tv to two different sources.sorry. i will say that product is out there. make sure you have good hdmi cables.

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.

No.If you had two separate Ethernet cables and wanted to use each of them with the same device, but not at the same time, then this would help you.

No. This product does not allow you to connect two devices to a single active network cable / port - you need a hub or switch for that. It simply allows you to send *two* separate wired connections through a *single* network cable. Cat5/6 cables have 8 wires inside them (4 pairs). A normal connection only uses 2 pairs which leaves the other 2 pairs left unconnected - this is just how it is, worldwide. This device (which only works as a *pair* of devices - they will not work as singles) allow you to send two switch port outputs down a single cable, and then split them back out again at the other end. You normally only need to do this (and use this product) in structured wiring situations where you just need 1 extra wired network connection and you dont want to go through the time and expense of running a completely new wire (the wiring might not be easily accessible or the cost maybe prohibitive). Network splitters like this one do not work like power adapters for your 110V/220V supply.

Its possible, it depends on how well the item is made really and where the problem lies. My problem with this item was because I think the back metal was touching the internal wires by accident. If the splitter serves no other purpose for you, you could try doing the same (get to the insides) to see if this is the problem, or there is something else wrong inside the unit. If all the cables work without the splitter, then it does sound like it is the splitter somehow, but there is no real guarantee that a different online product will be more successful. Might try a store where you can get a return maybe? Also note that a splitter is not the same as a switch. A splitter sends the same cable data to multiple units while a switch selectively merges different cables into 1.

This device isn't a splitter so you cannot use it that way. It is required to have one on each end of the ethernet run. To split an ethernet signal you would need a switch.

This unit replaces the modem and router completely. I have it the cable attached to it, and see no reason why a splitter wouldn't work (except that you may lose some bandwidth). I would try it, based on if it were returnable.

Yes it's a switch not splitter so only 1 source will go through at a time and it shouldn't matter if both are on.
