Product Description
If you've got spare ports on your patch panel, but not enough wall sockets then try this! This splitter adapter will allow you to use two ethernet devices in one spare RJ45 wall socket female port, by splitting this port into 2. Attach either two computers or any other networkable hardware, to your existing Cat5e structured cabling system, using a Cat5e UTP cable economiser. This will allow 2 ports to be created on a to a single 8-core (4-pair) Cat5e UTP faceplate. Then using one at the other end to split the patch panel port. How it works: The Cat5e Economiser, used in pairs (one at at each end of a cable run), allows 4 pair cable to be divided in two separate twisted pair data signal sockets. Cat5e only utilises 2 of the four pairs of wires (wires 1,2,3,6) inside the cable. These splitters allow data from one connection to be sent down the usual wires 1,2,3,6 and the data from the second connection to be sent down the other cables (wires 4,5,7,8). By plugging one economiser direct into a wall outlet and another into a patch panel at the other end; one cable run of 4 twisted pair can be used to transmit 2 sets of data signals. Features: Superior Quality Cat5e Connectivity: 1 x RJ45 Male to 2 x RJ45 Female Typically you would use one in the wall socket, one in the patch panel These can be used with both straight cable and crossover cable connections When the signal reaches the other end, it must be split again back into 2 separate cables. This is why they are used in pairs Points to note: These MUST be used in pairs. These are intended for data transmission and not for voice. They are not suitable for telephones or for sharing a broadband connection with a modem/router. MUST be used with patch panels & faceplates only. 12 month warranty.

Got his product to run 2 ethernet connections through 1 cable that is buried in the wall. Works a treat and saved a lot of hassle trying to get an extra cable through the house.

There has been a lot of incorrect stuff written about these little gizmos, so having recieved mine I thought I would put the record straight.
Standard CAT5 network cabling uses an outer cable with 4 twisted pairs of wire inside. Although all 8 wires are terminated in patch panels, wall outlets, patch leads etc., only 4 wires (2 pairs) are used for ethernet. The other cables might be used if you are using the cabling infrastructure for telephone but in most instances they are redundant.
What these little friends do is allow you to utilise those spare pairs of cable to double the number of netowrk sockets on your network. You need one at the wall socket end where you have your PC etc and another at your patch panel/switch/router end. They work by connecting the normal pins 1,2,3 & 6 from your PC, printer etc to pins 1,2,3 & 6 on one of their sockets and do a cross-over to the unused pins 4,5,7 & 8 on the other so that you can utilise all 4 pairs in the cable. At the other end you use another one to connect the normal pins straight through again but cross back pins 4,5,7 & 8 onto pins 1,2,3 & 6.
And that's it. They do not provide sharing options or any of the other things people have written and have no impact on bandwidth or signal etc. because all they are doing is using otherwise redundant wires within the system.
They simply provide a quick, cheap, alternative to running a second, normally wired cable round your building and back to your patch panel by utilising spare cores within the existing wiring. This means every man and his dog can double the number of "wall outlets" on the network simply by plugging one of these things in at each end of the infrastructure wiring.
For 1 or 2 locations they are therefore fantastic. Whether using these in a commercial environment is ultimately cheaper than running more cable is for you to decide - lol.
I think they are great and just show that two into one does go!

I bought this without reading the reviews, or reading the company description... so when i opened it and read the capital print on the bottom of the sheet saying this does not work with routers i just ignored that statement and plugged it in.
As far as I'm aware there have been no problems with it, having bought it to free up and extra port on the router for a gaming computer cable the economiser is only being used for browser usage not gaming so i do not know if it can support sufficient speeds down both the cables. So if you need to free up a port on your router this little item is your best friend in my opinion.
