UGREEN 45311 Ethernet Splitter 1 In 2 Out, Gigabit, USB-C Powered, Aluminium

Overview

The UGREEN 45311 lets two devices share one network cable where only one cable reaches a room or desk, such as a PC and a printer, a smart TV and a set-top box, or a laptop and an IP phone. It is a powered 1 in 2 out Gigabit splitter in an aluminium housing: one input, two RJ45 outputs at up to 1000 Mbps each, with no crosstalk between them, powered from 5 V through USB-C.

Is it right for you?

• Suits adding a second wired device where pulling a second cable is not practical.
• Needs a USB port or USB charger nearby for its 5 V power.
• Both outputs share the bandwidth of the single incoming link, so it suits everyday use rather than two devices that each need a full Gigabit at once.

Key features

• One input, two outputs, each up to 1000 Mbps, with no crosstalk between the two output signals.
• Backward compatible with 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps networks.
• Plug and play with no drivers.
• 5 V power through USB-C, with a USB cable included.
• Works with Cat 8, Cat 7, Cat 6, Cat 5e and Cat 5 cables.
• Aluminium housing, about 60 g.

What else you need

• Ethernet cables for the input and both outputs.
• A 5 V USB power source: a USB port on a nearby device or a USB charger.
• It works with routers, switches, ADSL modems, hubs, TVs, set-top boxes, wireless devices and computers with RJ45 ports.

Installation

Connect the incoming cable to the input, a cable from each output to its device, and the USB-C cable to a USB power source. No setup is needed.

Before you buy

• Total throughput cannot exceed what the incoming link provides; the two outputs share it.
• Actual speed also depends on the cables, router and other network devices.
• It needs 5 V power to work.
