Network adapter DIGITUS AD-UTP 2x RJ45 to 1x RJ45 (AD-UTP)

The DIGITUS AD-UTP adapter converts two RJ45 ports into a single RJ45 connection for use with UTP Ethernet cabling. It is a passive coupling device intended to adapt or combine network lines where a single RJ45 port is required. The adapter supports straightforward signal routing and temporary or legacy configurations that need port consolidation without introducing active network equipment.

Advantages

The compact, lightweight design of the DIGITUS AD-UTP adapter makes it easy to install and move between locations. As a passive adapter it requires no power and introduces minimal complexity to existing cabling. It is compatible with standard UTP Ethernet cables and can be used in environments that need a simple physical connection or line-joining solution without active switching or configuration.

Suitable for

• Temporary network connections and testing
• Combining or adapting UTP Ethernet lines when a single port is available
• Legacy systems or installations requiring simple physical consolidation
• Workspaces where no powered network device is desired

Key specifications

• Connector types: two RJ45 female to one RJ45 female
• Cable compatibility: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cables
• Operation: passive adapter (no power required)
• Function: physical line adaptation/combination for signal routing
• Form factor: compact, inline adapter

How to use

To use the DIGITUS AD-UTP adapter, insert the two UTP RJ45 cables into the respective RJ45 female ports and connect the single RJ45 end to the target device or outlet. Ensure cables are properly seated to maintain reliable physical contact. Because the adapter is passive, it does not perform signal switching or active management; it only provides a physical connection for combined or adapted lines. Verify network functionality after installation to confirm the intended line routing.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter for short-term or simple physical adaptations and avoid relying on it for complex network topologies, where active switching or managed consolidation is required. For best results, use high-quality UTP cables and test connectivity after installation. Avoid exposing the adapter to moisture or extreme mechanical stress.
