subject: Ethernet Splitter For Computers [print this page] If you have multiple PC at home or at work, more likely you will need to share the internet connection between all the PCs so that all the occupants can access the internet at the same time. For this purpose you can employ an ethernet splitter to create a set of connections where all the computers can be connected to utilize the web connection. So the network is basically all the PCs connected by a communications device that facilitates communicating information among all the users.
If it is not convenient enough for you to buy an Ethernet splitter, then you can read this article to understand how you can create one by yourself. But it takes time, patience and a little knowledge of wiring. By installing an Ethernet splitter, you will be able to link two or more computers at the same time through one Ethernet device.
In order to create your own Ethernet splitters you will need some materials and tools such as two RJ45 Crimpable Plug, four RJ-45 keystone jack, a small Ethernet Cable Scrap approximately 2 feet in size and tools like a RJ45 Crimp Tool Craft knife, 110 Punch Down Mechanism, Loctite Super Glue. initially you will need to crimp the RJ45 Plug to the Ethernet wire. For this to be done you will need to read a wiring codes taken from a hardware book or from the instructions on the package.
Now use the 110 Punch Down Tool to press down the other end to the RJ-45 keystone jacks and use the other side of the cable and slice it to 9 inches and punch down the four pairs with this wiring code, Jack #1: 1 White/Orange to pin 1keystone jack 2 Orange to pin 2 keystone jack 3 White/Green to pin 3 keystone jack 6 Green to pin 6 keystone jack #2: 4 Blue to pin 2 keystone jack 5 White/Blue to pin 1 keystone jack 7 White/Brown to pin.
Use the previous information to create one more splitter so you eventually have two splitters. Plug one splitter to the RJ45 wall plate and join the two PCs to the splitter. Now connect the other splitter to the patch plate and put two patch cables from the splitter to two free Ethernet cables from the switch. If your splitter connections are right then the two links from the knob on which the patch cord are joint should turn on. After this installation is complete, then you will be able to setup two PC systems simultaneously connected using only one Ethernet cable. This method is similar to Power over Ethernet but instead of injecting DC, it is injecting another data. It is better if you can to draw one more Ethernet cord from the patch panel to the wall plate. Once you use these guidelines then you should create a proper Ethernet splitter, if not you will need to restart the procedure all over again.
