Product description
This compact Ethernet splitter lets you share a single network cable between two devices while keeping gigabit speeds for everyday streaming, gaming and file transfers. It combines a small RJ45 switch with an included Cat 6 cable and a simple USB power lead to expand ports without new cabling, making it useful in tight setups at home or in small offices.
Key Points
The unit supports up to 1000Mbps according to the manufacturer and works over typical Ethernet distances up to 100 metres. It is designed for quick set up with plug-and-play operation using a 5V/1A DC power source, and status LEDs show which ports are active. The body is lightweight plastic for easier placement and includes nickel-plated jacks intended to improve contact and signal stability. Consider that this device splits a single incoming link to two outputs and does not replace a full-featured managed switch for advanced network routing.
Technical Specifications
Name: uhddadi 1 to 2 Ethernet Splitter
- Speed: 1000Mbps maximum
- Cable included: Cat 6
- Power: requires 5V/1A DC via USB cable
- Connector type: RJ45, nickel-plated jacks
Usage Recommendations
Use the splitter to add an extra wired connection where laying a second cable is impractical. Plug the main incoming Ethernet into the input port and connect two devices to the outputs, then connect the USB power lead to a suitable 5V/1A source. It is well suited for connecting devices such as set-top boxes, smart TVs, routers and PCs when simple port extension is the goal. For environments needing VLANs, PoE or advanced traffic control, a conventional network switch will be more appropriate.
Positive Aspects
The small footprint makes placement flexible and the inclusion of a Cat 6 cable removes the need to source additional leads. The LED indicators offer quick visual confirmation of link activity and the nickel-plated contacts help reduce oxidation over time. It is compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7 and Cat8 cables according to the product information, offering versatility across different cable types. The device may not supply the same features as larger switches, however it provides an economical and low-complexity way to gain an extra wired connection.
