Network Adapter ShiverPeaks 75002-2 — RJ45 Cat5e Patch Cable Adapter

ShiverPeaks 75002-2 is an inline RJ45 Cat5e patch cable adapter that allows a quick join or split of Ethernet connections without re-terminating connectors. Designed for Cat5e wiring and shielded construction, this compact adapter enables connection of a single RJ45 plug to two RJ45 jacks while maintaining the wiring scheme for telephone and Ethernet use. Its short form factor makes it suitable for temporary links, troubleshooting, or situations where a fast, reversible connection is required.

Advantages

The adapter offers a simple and portable solution for connecting or extending patch cables, reducing downtime during network adjustments. Shielded design helps minimise electromagnetic interference in mixed office or home environments. The inline format preserves existing cable terminations and allows rapid swaps or tests without tools.

Suitable for

• Joining two Cat5e patch cables for temporary extension
• Quickly splitting a connection for testing or diagnostics
• Connecting network devices to patch panels during reconfiguration
• Short-term telephone and Ethernet combinations where wiring matches Cat5e pinout

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 male to dual RJ45 female
• Cable category support: Cat5e (Ethernet and compatible telephone wiring)
• Shielding: shielded construction to reduce interference
• Length: short inline adapter form factor (approx. 0.1 m equivalent)
• Use environment: office and home networks, temporary links and troubleshooting

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug of an existing patch cable into the adapter’s male connector, then connect one or both patch cables to the adapter’s female RJ45 sockets as required. Ensure that connected cables follow the same Cat5e wiring scheme to maintain signal integrity. Use the adapter for short-term joins, testing, or temporary extensions and avoid relying on it as a permanent, high-performance replacement for professionally re-terminated or permanently installed cabling.

Usage recommendations

For stable long-term installations, prefer permanently terminated cables or patch panels. Use the adapter for troubleshooting, temporary connections, or where rapid reconfiguration is needed. Avoid using the adapter in outdoor or harsh environments unless additional environmental protection is applied.
