Network Ethernet Splitter Renkforce RF-NS-200 10/100/1000 MBit/s (SP-13748848)

Renkforce RF-NS-200 is an Ethernet splitter designed for copper networks supporting 10/100/1000 MBit/s. The device splits or combines standard RJ45 Ethernet signals to allow multiple endpoints to share a single cable run or to increase available connection points where installing an additional switch is impractical. Compact and passive in design, it is intended for simple network topology adjustments in small offices, home networks, or AV installations.

Advantages

The splitter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is backward compatible with 10/100 MBit/s links, enabling flexible deployment with existing network equipment. Its passive operation requires no external power source, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure. The compact form factor conserves space and can be positioned near patch panels, wall outlets, or behind AV racks to minimize visible cabling.

Suitable for

• Home network expansions where additional ports are temporarily needed
• Small office environments with limited cabling or port availability
• Audio/video installations that require sharing a single cable between devices
• Testing or troubleshooting scenarios where splitting an Ethernet run is useful

Key specifications

• Supported speeds: 10/100/1000 MBit/s (Gigabit Ethernet compatible)
• Interface type: RJ45 copper Ethernet
• Operation: Passive splitter/combiner for copper links
• Compatibility: Works with standard Ethernet devices and cabling (Cat5e/Cat6 recommended for Gigabit)
• Form factor: Compact inline unit for installation near endpoints or patch panels

How to use

Connect the splitter between two Ethernet endpoints and the shared cable according to the included port labeling or documentation. When used to split a single cable into two endpoints, ensure the remote end is configured with a complementary splitter or switch capable of handling the combined signals. Verify link LEDs on connected devices to confirm successful negotiations at the intended speed. No external power or software configuration is required for basic splitting/combining operations.

Usage recommendations

For Gigabit operation, use Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and keep cable lengths within standard Ethernet limits. Avoid using the splitter for environments requiring managed switching features, PoE power delivery, or where full simultaneous bandwidth to multiple devices is needed. When integrating into AV setups, label both ends of the split cable to prevent mispatching and preserve signal integrity.
