EFB Elektronik K5117.015 Network Splitter Black

The EFB Elektronik K5117.015 Network Splitter in black is a compact adapter that converts a single RJ45 plug into five RJ45 shielded jacks. It provides a direct 1:1 assignment and maintains signal continuity by terminating pins 3-6 and 4-5 as specified. The splitter is intended for simple wired network splitting where no active switching or signal amplification is required.

Advantages

This network splitter offers a small, passive solution for distributing a single Ethernet connection to multiple shielded RJ45 ports. Its shielded jacks reduce electromagnetic interference, and the 1:1 pin assignment preserves standard wiring for compatible devices. The black housing matches common network equipment aesthetics.

Suitable for

• Temporary or simple wired setups where multiple devices need access to one Ethernet line
• Environments requiring shielded connections to reduce interference
• Use with devices that accept passive split connections and matching cable wiring

How to use

Insert the network cable with an RJ45 plug into the single input. Connect up to five devices to the shielded RJ45 output jacks using properly wired Ethernet cables. Verify that connected devices and cabling are compatible with passive splitting; this adapter does not provide switching, signal boosting, or individual network segmentation. Use only in configurations where passive distribution is acceptable.

Recommendations

For reliable network performance, use the splitter in low-bandwidth or temporary scenarios and ensure all connected devices support passive wiring. Avoid relying on this passive splitter for critical, high-throughput, or complex network topologies—use an active switch for such cases.
