Ethernet Splitter KiWiBiRD 2‑Port Compact Adapter

Description

Product Overview

The KiWiBiRD Ethernet Splitter (model ES-001) is a compact 1‑to‑2 RJ45 device that turns a single Ethernet cable into two independent connections. Built from lightweight, heat‑dissipating plastic, the splitter features nickel‑plated connectors for stable signal transmission and integrated LED indicators that show link status for each port. It supports data rates up to 1000Mbps over distances of up to 100 meters and is compatible with Cat3 through Cat6 cables, making it versatile for a wide range of networking environments.

Usage

Designed for home offices, gaming setups, and small‑business networks, this splitter easily expands your wired connections without the need for additional switches. Connect one end to your router or wall outlet, then plug two devices—such as a laptop and a gaming console—into the output ports. The plug‑and‑play nature means no drivers or configuration are required; simply attach the included USB‑C power cable to a 5V/1A source and you’re ready to go.

FAQ

Can I use the splitter with a Cat5 cable?

Yes, the splitter works with Cat3, Cat4, Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 cables, delivering full 1000Mbps performance on compatible cable types.

Do I need a power source?

The device includes a USB‑C power cable that should be connected to a 5V/1A DC source. This ensures stable operation of the LEDs and maintains optimal signal quality.

Will the splitter affect my internet speed?

When both ports are active, each shares the total bandwidth of the single upstream cable. For typical home use, this provides ample speed for most activities; high‑bandwidth tasks on both ports simultaneously may experience a slight reduction compared to a dedicated line.

Is the splitter compatible with PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?

The splitter is not designed to carry PoE power. It should be used with standard data‑only Ethernet connections.

What is the warranty period?

KiWiBiRD offers a 12‑month limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and hardware failures.
