6" Cat5e RJ-45 (F) to Dual RJ-45 (M) Ethernet Line T-Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My thanks goes to Bruce of seattle for his review of a similar item (one male plug to two female). He accurately "hit the nail on the head". I've read other buyer's reviews saying that these things don't work. Well, if you use it as it was intended, they do work! (see ref. attached).
These devices make use of the fact that only four of the eight wires in the ethernet cable are used. So as you can see from the drawing above, this unit uses all eight conductors in the cable if you have two signal sources like from a router. They do NOT under any circumstances "split" one signal.
I ordered two of these to give my son the ability of havivg his computer plus Xbox connected to the internet at the same time. You'll need a router with an extra port. My computer is connected to my broadband service (cable modem) thru a four port router. Three of the ports were being used. I took this "splitter" and plugged into the port being used by his computer and put the second plug into the 4th (spare) port. Then plug the ethernet cable that goes to his computer into the female end of this device. Reverse the procedure at the other end (plug cable into female end and one male end into the computer and the other male end into the game) to complete the hookup. This device and others are similar but with different male to female configurations.Cables to Go 2-Port Splitter/Combiner - RJ-45 (M) - RJ-45 (F) - gray
