 Great product! All the bad reviews are misconceptions on how to use this. May 03, 2010
By Rizwan Rasheed
This device allows you to COMBINE 2 ethernet ports from a switch/hub/router into 1 cable and to SPLIT the cable back out to 2 ports for use with computers or other ethernet devices.
A typical ethernet CAT5 cable has 8 wires in it; and for 10/100 ethernet networks you only use 4 of those 8 wires. Therefore you can use the other unused 4 wires to run another ethernet segment.
In order to use this product properly you have to connect 2 ports from your switch/hub/router. Then a regular CAT5 ethernet cable to wherever you need to go and put ANOTHER one of these on the end to split the signal back out.
Typical use:
PROBLEM: You have 1 ethernet cable connecting to a computer (for example) and you need to add another computer or other device. You do not want to run another ethernet cable.
SOLUTION: Install one of these on both sides of the ethernet cable. 1) At the source of your ethernet network (where your router/switch/hub is); remove the existing ethernet cable; then take two empty ports and plug them into the 2 ports side of this device. Then plug the ethernet cable that you just unplugged into the single port side of this device. 2) At the end where the computer is, remove the ethernet cable from the computer; and plug it into the single port side of this device. Then connect your computer and the additional device to the two port side of this device.
(It does not matter which port of this device you plug your computer/additional device into).
In closing ... You MUST combine 2 ethernet ports from your switch to make this work. I see reviews all the time from people who do not know how this works and they give bad reviews because it won't work for them.

 unfortunately product does EXACTLY as advertised Jun 28, 2010
By Network Admin
This product is an RJ45 version of a typical phone splitter. It is NOT a Cat5 ethernet line splitter. I'm a network admin that had a specific need that I thought this product would solve. I read the poor reviews of people who sounded like they were not network guys. I then read reviews of people who sounded like they were network guys but I have now decided they reviewed the product without ever purchasing it.
What I thought the product was going to do:
I thought the 2 jacks side would have a side "A" and side "B" and that the device would split the single jack side so that wires 1,2,3, and 6 would go to side "A" and wires 4,5,7 and 8 would be transposed to be wires 1,2,3, and 6 on side "B". With this in mind, I bought 2 of these to solve my network dilemma. One splitter for each end of a long run that adding a 2nd would be REALLY hard to do. A simple switch on the one end would not solve my particular problem. I needed 2 seperate networks to be on this line in question.
What the product does do:
the 8 wires from the 3 RJ45 jacks all tie together.
This was shown to me with both a pin out cable tester and in real world testing with ethernet devices. The 8 wires pinned out perfectly no matter what 2 jacks you combine. At one point I had 2 network devices talking and realized they were both hooked to the 2 jack side with nothing on the single jack side.
Any network person reading this will know this product is not for you in an ethernet environment.

RTFM Mar 30, 2011
By Barnaby Thieme
I've never seen such a preposterous collection of consumers misrating a product purely because of their own limited technical competence. That includes you, "Network Admin."
All the pins are wired in parallel, just as it says. Sorry, no, this isn't a hub. Nice try.
If this doesn't meet your needs, don't buy it. But why give this box a one star rating? It is what it says it is.
Meets my needs perfectly -- it splits my non-ethernet bus into the multiple connections I need.
Heads up: it's not a toaster either.

Does not work Nov 04, 2009
By J. Lanier
Tried to use to connect two products. Each one worked by itself when plugged directly into the wall (house is wired for ethernet) but neither worked using the splitter. Hoping to send it back.

Doesn't work May 24, 2010
By J. Cannatella
Simple review, the product doesn't work. I tried splitting my internet connection via one Ethernet cable to two Ethernet cables so I could hook up the internet for two separate devices. Neither could receive any kind of internet signal using this.
