Turn One Ethernet Connection Into Two

Only have one Ethernet connection but need to connect two devices?

The UGREEN 1000Mbps RJ45 Ethernet Splitter 1 to 2 lets you expand one Gigabit Ethernet connection into two RJ45 network connections, allowing two compatible devices to access the network simultaneously.

Connect your computer, TV, gaming console, set-top box, or other Ethernet device without constantly unplugging and reconnecting network cables.

One Ethernet connection. Two devices. Less cable swapping.

Two Devices Online at the Same Time

Unlike basic passive RJ45 splitters that may require special wiring or paired adapters, this UGREEN Ethernet splitter is designed to let two connected devices access the network simultaneously.

It’s a practical solution when you have limited Ethernet connections near your devices.

Perfect for:

• Desktop PCs
• Laptops with Ethernet
• Smart TVs
• PS5 and other gaming consoles
• TV boxes
• Routers
• Network equipment
• Home offices

Up to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet

Enjoy wired network speeds up to 1000Mbps with compatible network equipment and internet service.

The splitter automatically supports:

10Mbps
100Mbps
1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet

This makes it ideal for demanding wired-network activities including:

• Online gaming
• 4K streaming
• Large file transfers
• Video conferencing
• Remote work
• Downloads
• Cloud access

Actual network speed depends on your internet connection, router, Ethernet cables, connected devices, and network environment.

Stable Wired Connection

Wi-Fi is convenient, but sometimes a wired connection is simply the better option.

Ethernet can provide a more consistent connection for devices that stay in one place — especially TVs, gaming consoles, desktop computers, and workstations.

The UGREEN splitter provides independent network transmission for the two connected outputs while helping minimize signal interference.

Plug and Play

No complicated software or driver installation is required.

Connect:

1. Your Ethernet input
2. Your two Ethernet devices
3. The required 5V USB power

Then you’re ready to connect.

A USB power cable is included.

Important: USB Power Is Required

This is an active Ethernet splitter, not a simple passive RJ45 adapter.

The splitter requires a 5V power connection to operate correctly and allow two devices to use the network simultaneously.

The required USB power cable is included in the package.

Works With Cat5 to Cat8 Ethernet Cables

Use the splitter with a wide range of standard Ethernet cables, including:

• Cat5
• Cat5e
• Cat6
• Cat7
• Cat8

Your maximum network speed will depend on the complete network setup, including your router, cables, connected devices, and internet service.

Perfect for Gaming Setups

Have a console and another Ethernet device near the same network connection?

Use the splitter to connect compatible devices such as a PS5, Xbox, gaming PC, or Smart TV without repeatedly moving your Ethernet cable between them.

A wired connection can be particularly useful for online gaming where connection consistency matters.

Ideal for Smart TVs & Entertainment Centers

Entertainment centers often contain several network-enabled devices but may only have one Ethernet cable running to the area.

The UGREEN Ethernet splitter gives you two network outputs from that connection, making it easier to connect compatible TVs, TV boxes, consoles, and other Ethernet equipment.

A Simple Upgrade for Your Home Office

Need wired Ethernet for two computers but only have one network connection nearby?

Connect both devices through the splitter and keep your workspace connected without constantly switching cables.

It’s a simple way to expand wired connectivity without adding unnecessary complexity to your desk.

Durable Aluminum Alloy Design

The housing is made from aluminum alloy, providing a durable exterior while helping with heat dissipation during operation.

Metal-protected RJ45 sockets and gold-plated contacts help provide reliable network connections for everyday use.

Compact & Easy to Place

The small, lightweight design makes it easy to position behind a TV, next to a router, under a desk, or inside a workstation.

It’s also compact enough to carry when you need additional wired connectivity away from your normal setup.

Why You’ll Love It

Sometimes you don’t need to rebuild your network.

You just need one more Ethernet connection.

The UGREEN Ethernet Splitter gives you:

1-to-2 RJ45 expansion
Two devices connected simultaneously
Up to 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
10/100/1000Mbps support
Cat5 through Cat8 compatibility
Plug-and-play operation
Durable aluminum alloy housing
Compact design

A simple solution to a common wired-network problem.
