Hello and welcome to Show Me Cables. Today, we’ll be taking a look at wiring splitters.

This is the 10/100 BaseT wiring splitter with 04 wiring. Before we get into the features and applications I want to clear up a common area of confusion. The wiring splitters need to be used in pairs. They will not work to split 1 Ethernet signal into 2 signals.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into how the splitters work.

The wiring splitter features two female RJ45 ports and a short 6 inch cable with a male RJ45 plug.

For anyone not entirely clear on RJ45’s. RJ45 is the larger plug found on Ethernet cables, not the smaller plug, known as RJ11 or RJ12 that you would find on a telephone cord.

The splitter also has the option to be easily wall mounted and includes the necessary mounting screws.

How it works, is that it will allow you to take 2 ethernet signals from your source. Let’s say a modem, switch, or router.

So that’s 2 cables coming from your source.

Then, you can plug the 2 source cables into the splitter, combining both signals into a single cable. This is typically done at a wall plate or patch panel.

Your signals are then carried across a single line and up to your output wall plate, where you will plug in your second wiring splitter.

And finally, take 2 more Ethernet cables to connect from the 2nd wiring splitter into the two devices that need data.

To recap: You will take two Ethernet cables from your source into the splitter. Your signal is run across a single line. Then it is split back out from the second wiring splitter and out to your devices.

Now, you may be asking why even bother? Why do I need two wiring splitters if I can just run two cables?

Well it actually can be a life saver in projects where a 2nd data line needs to be added, but only a single cable has been run in wall. Instead of running an entire new length of cable in the wall, you can simply connect the lines with a couple wiring splitters and you’re good to go.

Hopefully this has answered any questions you may have had on wiring splitters. If you still have questions, you can call our customer service department at 888-519-9505.
