Ethernet Splitter 1 to 2 MT VIKI Gigabit Adapter with USB C Power

Description

Product Overview

The MT VIKI Ethernet Splitter 1 to 2 is a compact networking accessory designed to extend the utility of a single Ethernet cable. Built to support Gigabit Ethernet standards, the splitter can transmit data at speeds up to 1000 Mbps, ensuring that both connected devices experience fast and stable connections. The device measures 4.21 x 3.19 x 0.75 inches and weighs just 3.17 ounces, making it lightweight enough to be placed discreetly on a desk or behind a TV. Its construction uses high‑quality copper conductors and a robust plastic housing that meets the durability expectations of both home and small‑office environments. The splitter is compatible with a wide range of cable categories, from Cat5e up through Cat8, allowing users to leverage existing cabling without the need for costly upgrades.

Power is supplied via a USB‑C cable, which simplifies installation—simply connect the USB‑C cable to a USB power source, plug the Ethernet cable into the input port, and attach two devices to the output ports. No additional drivers or software are required, and the device operates silently, making it an unobtrusive addition to any network setup. The product includes a user manual, a USB‑C charging cable, and the splitter itself; an Ethernet cable or external power adapter is not included, keeping the package lightweight and cost‑effective.

Usage

This splitter is ideal for scenarios where a single Ethernet outlet must serve multiple devices. In a home office, a user can connect both a desktop computer and a network‑attached storage (NAS) device to a single wall jack, eliminating the need for additional cabling or a larger switch. In a living‑room entertainment setup, the splitter can feed both a smart TV and a gaming console, ensuring that streaming and online gaming receive the bandwidth they need without interference. Small businesses that operate in limited space can also benefit, using the splitter to connect a point‑of‑sale terminal and a backup printer to a single network line.

Because the splitter does not perform any active signal amplification, it is best suited for short‑run connections where the total cable length does not exceed the Ethernet standard’s 100‑meter limit. The device’s USB‑C power requirement is modest—5 V at 1 A—so it can be powered from any standard USB charger, laptop USB port, or power bank, providing flexibility in placement. Users should avoid deploying the splitter in high‑traffic network environments that require advanced traffic management, such as large corporate LANs, where a managed switch would be more appropriate.

FAQ

Can I use the splitter with a PoE (Power over Ethernet) source?

No. The MT VIKI Ethernet Splitter is not a PoE device. It does not provide power over the Ethernet ports, and it should not be connected to a PoE injector or switch that expects to deliver power through the data lines. For PoE applications, a dedicated PoE splitter or injector is required.

Will the splitter work with a router that has only one Ethernet port?

Yes. The splitter is designed to connect to a single Ethernet outlet or router port and then provide two separate Ethernet outputs. This allows you to attach two devices, such as a computer and a printer, to the same network line without needing a larger switch.

Do I need any special software to configure the splitter?

No software or driver installation is necessary. The device operates as a passive splitter, so once the USB‑C power cable is connected and the Ethernet cable is plugged in, the two downstream devices will automatically detect the network connection.

What is the maximum cable length I can use with this splitter?

The Ethernet standard specifies a maximum cable run of 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) for a single segment. As long as the combined length of the upstream and downstream cables does not exceed this limit, the splitter will function correctly. For best performance, keep individual cable runs as short as practical.

Is the splitter suitable for high‑traffic business networks?

The splitter is intended for home or small‑office environments where network traffic is moderate. In high‑traffic or enterprise settings, a managed Ethernet switch with traffic shaping and VLAN support would be more appropriate, as the splitter does not provide any active management of data packets.
