Ethernet Splitter, Waterproof PoE Combiner Splitter Adapter, Run 2 IP Cameras on 1 Network Cable

I am in the middle of attempting to add another camera and realized that I don't have the ability to run another cat6 cable from the network termination point. I did have a POE camera nearby and thought to myself that there HAS to be a way to split the cable and after some research, this happened. I'm very happy about it. I tested it out and no performance issue between the 2 cameras.the construction is kind of drab and boring, but who cares? it's going to sit in the network closet and it's not meant to be some statement piece so I can't be bothered to care about its looks. it works. That's all you need to know.

Make sure to note the connector (plug/socket) on the existing wiring and the new cable or device you plan to use them with. The splitters are available in every combination of plug -> socket, so it is easy to get the right one. It's just as easy to overlook and end up with a solution that won't work.Works great with all of my client's PoE cameras and 802.11af/at PoE switch (Nortel/Avaya 4850GTS-PWR, among others). YMMV for non-standard 12/24/48V PoE injectors or switches. These things are -all- totally basic. There is no magic in one that is not in another, so don't pay for others asking $15, $20 each — they are ALL THE SAME. We purchased a couple of Amazon Warehouse items returned by another customer... doubtless because "it didn't work" for them.

I ordered these about a month before I got around to installing them. My fault for assuming that they would be operational. I l made all of my cables, mounted my cameras in their respective locations on a corner of my house, then finally plugged everything. But.. cameras didn't come on.I assumed initially I might have misterminated an ethernet cable, but my cable tester confirmed they passed the tests. Then I assumed it was maybe my PoE extender. but after some tests, I ruled that out. Then I thought maybe a port went bad on my PoE switch.. NOPE! All other possibilities exhausted, I removed this splitter from the line, and VOILA, my signals successfully began transmitting.Clearly I got a dud, since I see others here are satisfied. This is a cutionary tale of tesxting your purchases within their return window, unlike I did.

I needed to change the power situation for a Sling studio cam link and a PTZ camera. This splitter allowed me to power both. I had already purchased a cat5 to mini usb adaptor but wasn't getting the power passed through is so I bought this splitter and it worked after playing around with it. I have a poe switch and connected the one side of the splitter to it. The other side was by the camera and camlink. I had to swap the connectors for it to pass data but it worked. Now I can power the cam link and the PTZ camera over cat5 with 1 cable. I used to use a rechargeable battery to run the cam link but that is no more. This things works great Not a lot of documentation but I was able to make it work

Working good

It works fine if you keep the main cable length under about 80 feet. Anything longer than that and it fails. My setup uses two 802.3af IP cameras, with cat5e 24awg solid copper (not cca). When using a direct cable run to a camera I can exceed 200 feet, but with this Y connector, 80 feet is about the limit.

Funciona como dice. Te permite llevar 2 camaras con un solo cable

…..and ended up using it as it was intended!I originally just purchased this because I had cameras that were missing the waterproof pigtails. I am happy to report that they fit the cameras just fine. I ended up using the cable also to run two cameras outside on a fence and I was pleasantly surprised that it works as intended!Connectors were up to par with the same quality as my IP cameras. Color match is not perfect but that’s no fault of the maker as this is a universal product.Best part was that for the price you it can’t be beat. Camera maker wanted three times the price for one cap. I got four for a third of the cost and the cable working as it should was icing on the cake! Great value and multi purpose!Another positive note, the orientation of the cables doesn’t matter. In the photo; it shows a splitter on the router side and a joiner on the camera side. I ran this in the opposite orientation (because I wanted the caps.
