Network splitter Franke BTR NETCOM pnp 2, silver — 2‑port Ethernet splitter

Franke BTR NETCOM pnp 2, silver — 2‑port Ethernet splitter is a compact, plug-and-play adapter set for dividing an 8‑wire network line into two separate 4‑wire services. Supplied as a pair, the adapters enable simultaneous operation of Ethernet and a second service (for example telephone/ISDN) over a single cabling run. The compact silver housings and side‑by‑side plugs are intended for installations with limited space where a full switch is not required.

Advantages

The device set supports pairwise use: one adapter is installed at the wall outlet and the matching adapter at the distributor to restore separate signals at each end. The adapters are shielded and designed in accordance with Class E requirements for link transmission as specified in IEC 11801 and EN 50173‑1, helping to maintain signal integrity. Short, flexible connections and a small form factor make the adapters easy to place side by side in crowded outlets or distribution panels. The plug‑and‑play design requires no configuration, simplifying installation in homes, small offices or for integrating networked appliances.

Suitable for

• Extending a single 8‑wire cable to provide Ethernet and telephone/ISDN simultaneously
• Simple network split where adding a switch is not practical
• Home, small office or appliance integration with limited space
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring minimal footprint

Key specifications

• Function: 2‑port splitter for dividing one 8‑wire line into two 4‑wire services
• Design: compact silver housings with side‑by‑side plug arrangement
• Shielding: shielded adapter with Class E transmission characteristics for the link
• Standards: compatible with link transmission requirements of IEC 11801 and EN 50173‑1
• Connection: short, flexible built‑in cable between plug and adapter
• Delivery: set contains two matching adapters for pairwise installation

How to use

Install one adapter at the end point (wall outlet) and the matching adapter at the distribution side so that each 4‑wire service is reconstituted at both ends. Plug the single 8‑wire cable into the distributor adapter and connect the two devices to the two ports of the wall adapter, or vice versa depending on site wiring. No software configuration is required; the adapters pass the electrical signals for the two separate services through the single cable run. Ensure proper orientation so plugs sit comfortably side by side in the outlet space and that shielding continuity is maintained through the installation.

Usage recommendations

Use the splitter set only where one link must carry two independent 4‑wire services (for example Ethernet and telephone/ISDN) and where cable length and environment meet the Class E cabling parameters. For multi‑device Ethernet networks or when higher port counts and unmanaged switching are required, use a dedicated network switch. Verify cable quality and shielding continuity for best performance.
