Product Information

Full details

This Gigabit Ethernet Network Splitter is for anyone needing to connect multiple wired network devices to a single Ethernet port. Its key benefit is enabling simultaneous high-speed internet access for three devices, eliminating the need for a full network switch. A minor caveat is its reliance on a USB port for power, which may require an available port or adapter.

FAQs

Is this a passive or active Ethernet splitter?

This is an *active* network switch that uses USB power to allow all three connected devices to operate simultaneously at full Gigabit speeds. Passive splitters do not offer this functionality.

Do I need to install any drivers or software?

No, this is a plug-and-play device. No drivers or software installation are required.

What is the maximum speed this splitter supports?

It supports data transfer rates up to 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).

Can I use this with my gaming console and 4K TV at the same time?

Yes, its active switching technology allows multiple devices, including gaming consoles and 4K TVs, to connect and operate at full Gigabit speeds simultaneously.

What type of USB port do I need for power?

You can use any standard 5V USB port, such as those found on a computer, TV, gaming console, or a standard USB wall adapter.

Will this work with all Ethernet cables?

Yes, it is compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7, and Cat8 Ethernet cables.

Can I connect a printer, a computer, and a NAS to this splitter?

Absolutely. As long as these devices have Ethernet ports, they can be connected to the splitter to share a single network connection.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection on any device.

Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to the splitter and a functioning USB port. Verify the main Ethernet cable is correctly plugged into the 'IN' port and the wall/router. Check LED indicators for power and link status.

Only one device works at a time.

This unit is an *active* switch, so this should not happen. If it does, try unplugging and replugging all connections. If the issue persists, try a different USB power source or USB cable. Contact support if problems continue.

Slow internet speeds or intermittent connection.

Check that all Ethernet cables used are in good condition and properly seated. Ensure the connected devices and the source connection (router/wall port) support Gigabit speeds. Test speeds with only one device connected to rule out individual device issues.

LED indicators are not lit.

Verify the USB power cable is correctly connected and the USB port is providing power. Try a different USB port or a dedicated USB wall adapter. If the power LED remains off, the splitter may be faulty.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Expands a single Ethernet port to three active connections.
  • Maintains full Gigabit speeds for all connected devices simultaneously.
  • Simple plug-and-play setup with no additional software needed.
  • Compact and discreet design, ideal for tidy installations.
  • Powered by a standard USB port, reducing the need for extra power outlets.
  • Compatible with a wide range of Ethernet cable standards.

Cons

  • Requires an available USB port for power.
  • Does not offer managed switch features like VLANs or QoS.
  • Limited to three connections; not suitable for expanding to many devices.
  • Passive splitters are cheaper but do not offer simultaneous active connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the included USB power cable to the splitter's power port and plug the other end into a powered USB port (e.g., on a TV, computer, or USB wall adapter).
  2. Plug one end of your existing Ethernet cable into your wall port or router.
  3. Connect the other end of this cable into the 'IN' port on the Gigabit Ethernet Network Splitter.
  4. Connect your devices (e.g., computer, TV, game console) to the splitter's three 'OUT' ports using separate Ethernet cables.
  5. Wait a few moments for the devices to establish network connections. The LED indicators will show power and activity.

Compatibility:

The splitter is compatible with all standard Ethernet cable categories, including:

  • Cat5
  • Cat5e
  • Cat6
  • Cat6a
  • Cat7
  • Cat8

It works with any device that uses an Ethernet connection, such as PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, Smart TVs, network printers, and NAS devices.

Care:

  • Keep the splitter in a dry environment and avoid exposure to liquids.
  • Do not block the ventilation openings, if any.
  • Clean the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ensure the USB power source provides a stable 5V output.
