Gigabit Ethernet Splitter 1 to 2 - Network Splitter with USB Power Cable, RJ45 Internet Adapter 1000Mbps High Speed for Cat 5/5e/6/7/8 Cable [2 Devices Networked Simultaneously]

Was (did) run out ports to connect my homelab to. So easy to install and works with all my connections. Cat6,7, and even 8 cables plugged in and no issues. All connected devices got their ip and are working as if they had their own direct connection. No speed lose! Money well spent of this device.

This is the best money I’ve spent on hardware in a long time. I have two networks in my home to accommodate personal and professional usage. My problem was how do I use 1 laser printer on two networks at the same time. This did the trick. One connection to the printer and one each to the 2 networks through a switch and router. Every device on both networks can see and print to the laser printer. It took only 10 minutes to set up.

This Ethernet splitter was easy to install connecting my 2 networks to my printer. Connections just plug-n-play and there is no system connection speed lost. Comes with a usb cable that makes connections easy. The material is well made and will last for years for me.

Adding my voice to the others saying that the product is defective and ceases to work after a short period. Mine worked fine for about a month, then suddenly quit out on me. No lights, no Ethernet splitting to speak of. Learn from my mistake, avoid this purchase and get a different product.

Works well, feels sturdy ish. You will need a USB port to plug it into it appears.

I recently added a PC to my living room. I currently have one "hardwired" ether-net cable coming into the room for the PlayStation and needed to expand off of that and be able to run both without data speed loss. I was able to split behind the PS and had an existing power-strip with USB power port (so powering it was not an issue). I purchased another CAT5 cable to run to the PC and a short CAT5 for the PS. Everything went flawlessly (although I did have to reboot devices to sync/acquire a good connection and both PC and PS work fine (gaming and streaming video). I'm a Professional photographer and (when needed) video editor and use the PC for editing photo/video. There were no issues running both devices at the max that I would generally/typically use.I have read the reviews and did not come across any of the issues presented by others. Although it did not affect me I can see the need for a longer power-usb length as it is quite short. Bang for the buck, I was very satisfied with ease of connection, speed and function.

10/10 Definitely recommend this product!

Does what I expected
