UGREEN CM210 50923 RJ45 Splitter 1 to 2, Pack of 2, 100 Mbps per Port

Overview

The UGREEN CM210 (50923) is a pair of passive RJ45 splitters that run two separate network connections over one existing cable, useful when only one cable reaches a room. One splitter sits at the router or switch end and the other at the room end, giving two independent 10/100 Mbps links over a single eight-core Cat5e or Cat6 cable up to 100 m.

Is it right for you?

• Suits adding a second wired device in a room with one cable, where 100 Mbps per device is enough.
• Needs two spare LAN ports on the router or switch, one for each connection.
• It does not suit Gigabit links or sharing a single router port between two devices; a powered Ethernet splitter or a small switch suits those cases.

Key features

• Two independent 10/100 Ethernet paths over one four-pair cable, when both adapters are used together.
• Up to 100 Mbps per connection.
• Transmission distance up to 100 m with pure-copper network cabling and compatible equipment.
• Three RJ45 female sockets on each passive adapter.
• ABS housing with an internal metal shielding layer.
• No software, driver or power adapter.

What else you need

• Two separate LAN ports at the router or switch end, and short patch cables to connect each splitter to the ports and devices.
• A single eight-core Cat5e or Cat6 cable between the two splitters.

Installation

Plug one splitter into the shared cable at each end. At the router or switch, connect its two sockets to two LAN ports; in the room, connect the two sockets of the other splitter to the two devices.

Before you buy

• Both splitters are required. A single unit does not give a working one-to-two connection.
• It cannot share one router port between two devices: you must connect two separate LAN ports.
• Gigabit Ethernet is not supported, because each 100 Mbps link uses two of the cable’s four wire pairs.
• They are passive wiring adapters, not a network switch, router, hub or signal booster.
• Performance depends on correct cabling, terminations and the connected network equipment.
