The StarTech RJ45 Splitter Adapter 2-to-1supports 10/100 networking speeds and delivers two networking signals using a single Ethernet cable. This setup requires you to have two 2-to-1 RJ45 Splitter adapters. It takes the signal coming from two cables and delivers the data through a single Cat 5 or 5e cable to the second optional adapter, which separates the signal back to two connections. This feature eliminates the need to run two cables throughout the home or workplace to connect a computer and Smart TV to the router. In addition, the adapter comes with two Ethernet female jacks and an integrated cable with an Ethernet male connector.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there a split version of this cable? I would need it to attach a thunderbolt device to the macbook retina. Of course then I loose the power charging cable. or would the macbook get power from thunderbolt devices?

A: This cable will not work with the retina MacBook because the retina MacBook has no Thinderbolt capability. The retina MacBook has a USB-C port but it only supports USB 3.1, not Thunderbolt. This adapter requires that Thundebolt 3 be supported behind a USB-C type port in the computer. As of July 2016, no Mac supports Thunderbolt 3 behind a USB-C connector, although this capability will most likely be integrated in Macs coming out in the fall 2016.

Q: 2. Will this enable my WD My Passport Pro Thunderbolt Ext Drive work with my new 2015 Macbook?

A: Yes, it will.

Q: 3. Can this be used to connect an HP ZBook with Thunderbolt 3 to a Sony Beta J-30SDI player? There would be 3 adapters: Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 (9 pin), then Firewire 800 to Firewire 400 (6-pin).

A: I haven't connected a PC to a Sony VTR since the BVU models were prevalent, however I have used the TBT3 to attach 1394a & b audio interfaces to a Thinkpad P70 instead of ZBook G3. The FW inferfaces are Apple-centric with the LSI(Agere) chip, one being the Apple TB-FW inline adapter and the other is in an OWC Thunberbolt 2 dock. I've run them one at a time off of the TBT3 as well as daisy-chaining the Apple adapter to the OWC. The daisy chain setup successfully records simultaneously from an RME FF800 and FF802.

Q: 4. Will this work for an Iphone 4 and above?

A: Yes, the StarTech MUYHSMFF 3.5mm 4-Position to Dual 3-Position Headset Splitter Male / Female Adapter works fine with iPhones.

Q: 5. Will this work with a fujifilm x100v camera? I want to record and monitor audio using a Rhode mic and Senal headphones. I have an adapter to plug the StarTech into the camera's audio mic port.

A: No, the StarTech Headset Adapter will not work as desired with the FUJIFILM X100V Digital Camera. This adapter works with a TRRS input/output connection that is capable of sending signal in both directions simultaneously, commonly found on smartphone and some computer headset connections. The 2.5mm microphone input connection on the X100V is an input only, and will not also send output signal to be monitored via headphones. It is suggested to use the microphone input and headphone output connections of the X100V independently in this scenario.

Q: 6. Can I use this adapter to connect my Dell Precision laptop with Thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 Black Magic Ultra studio express capture card with no issues? I will be testing this, just wondering if anyone knows the answer.

A: I ordered the StarTech thunderbolt adapter to connect my Motu 1248 audio interface (which uses thunderbolt 2) to my Dell XPS thunderbolt 3 port. This device has worked flawlessly ever since I purchased it. The Motu 1248 is a very advanced and complicated interface, so my thinking is if it works for the Motu, it should work for just about everything.

Q: 9. Would this work to connect a shotgun mic to an android smartphone, and at the same time monitor it with headphones?

A: The StarTech Headset Adapter will turn a 3.5mm audio output port into two distinct ports – one 3.5mm headphone jack and one 3.5mm microphone port, so if your shotgun mic and your headphones have a 3.5 mm input this will work fine.

Q: 10. Will this work with Toshiba KIRA laptop or a Samsung Chromebook XE303C12? I bought some adapters similar to this (should have come to you first!) and they work on my iPad but not on these devices. Maybe something to do with the 3 lines and how they are setup? THANKS! LOVE your site!

A: I bought it to use with the headphone that has built in microphone but it did not work with my laptop Lenovo ThinkPad. I returned it.
