Hello and welcome to Show Me Cables. Today, we’ll be taking a look at wiring splitters. This is the 10/100 BaseT wiring splitter with 07 wiring. Before we get into the features and applications I want to clear up a common area of confusion. This wiring splitter is used for control signals and will not work for splitting your ethernet signal. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into how the splitter works. The wiring splitter features two female RJ45 ports and a short 6 inch cable with a male RJ45 plug. For anyone not entirely clear on RJ45’s. RJ45 is the larger plug found on Ethernet cables, not the smaller plug, known as RJ11 or RJ12 that you would find on a telephone cord. The splitter also has the option to be easily wall mounted and includes the necessary mounting screws. How it works, is that it will allow you to split a control signal. This is typically used for many lighting and security systems applications. You can plug the splitter into your control system taking one signal and splitting it into two signals. Let’s take a look at an example using a lighting system. You can plug the splitter into a control hub. Then split the signal to two lights instead of one. For some applications this can then be daisy chained into a whole series of lights, so that one control signal can communicate with an entire array. Hopefully this has answered any questions you may have had on wiring splitters. If you still have questions, you can call our customer service department at 888-519-9505.
