Adapter ShiverPeaks 75002-1 RJ45 network adapter Cat 5e for Ethernet connectivity

ShiverPeaks 75002-1 RJ45 network adapter is designed for Cat 5e Ethernet cabling and provides a compact solution to convert one RJ45 plug into two shielded RJ45 sockets. The adapter supports standard Cat 5e performance for local area networks and offers a space-saving option for connecting multiple devices to a single cable run. Constructed with a shielded connector and maintaining Ethernet pinout mapping, it is suitable for common home and office wiring, patch panels, switches and device connections where Cat 5e cabling is used.

Advantages

The adapter delivers simple plug-and-play functionality without the need for tools or additional connectors, preserving Cat 5e signal characteristics. Shielding reduces electromagnetic interference in environments with moderate electrical noise. Its compact form factor makes it convenient for use in crowded patch panels, behind network equipment or in tight installation spaces. The device provides two RJ45 sockets from a single RJ45 plug while keeping the Ethernet wiring assignment consistent for straightforward deployment.

Suitable for

• Splitting a single Cat 5e cable to provide two RJ45 sockets for low-density device connections
• Temporary network setups and testing where quick access to two ports is needed
• Home and small office networks using Cat 5e cabling
• Connecting switches, patch panels, IP phones, computers and networked devices compatible with Cat 5e

Key specifications

• Cable category compatibility: Cat 5e
• Interface: 1 x RJ45 plug to 2 x RJ45 sockets
• Shielding: shielded connector and sockets
• Pinout: Ethernet (standard T568 wiring continuity)
• Cable length equivalent: inline adapter, approximately 0.1 m overall footprint

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug of the adapter into an active RJ45 wall jack or a network cable terminated with an RJ45 connector. Plug network devices or patch cables into the two RJ45 sockets on the adapter. Ensure connected devices are powered and configured according to network settings. The adapter does not require software or powering; it passively maps the connections through the Cat 5e wiring. For best results, avoid subjecting the adapter to heavy mechanical stress or repeated bending at the connector.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for temporary or low-bandwidth splits and where physical access is limited. For permanent installations or where full simultaneous gigabit performance on both ports is required, consider using a network switch or dedicated cabling to maintain optimal throughput and network reliability.
