RS PRO 2-Port RJ45 Adapter

Two types of socket adaptors allowing combinations of RJ11 and RJ45 plugs and sockets to be doubled up or joined together.

From RS PRO, this handy RJ45 adapter splits one RJ45 connection into two. With straight-through wiring, the splitter is an easy way to wire two devices to a single RJ45 port by connecting two RJ45 cable assemblies to an RJ45 plug. This might be handy for reducing the number of cables required to run multiple computers to a switch or hub.

Features and Benefits

• Dual socket to single plug splitter
• Robust Construction
• Cost effective cable management
• 8 Way RJ45 Connector

Applications

Many people misunderstand the purpose of an RJ45 adapter, assuming they can run multiple computers to a single modem or hub. This is only partially true. An RJ45 adapter can act as a combiner for multiple computers, but another adapter acting as a splitter must be used when connecting to a network hub in order for the connection to work effectively. The advantages of the splitter combiner combination mean only having to run one cable, rather than separate cables, which is useful in permanent installations where space saving and ease of maintenance are a concern.

RJ45 adapters can sometimes work with 6 way RJ11 voice-only connections.
