Network splitter SOLARIX T-MOD 3-U5 2×RJ45 UTP — passive Ethernet splitter for 2 ports

The SOLARIX T-MOD 3-U5 is a passive Ethernet splitter that divides one structured-cabling port into two separate 100Base-T connections. It is a compact, UTP-based adapter intended for situations where a single cable must serve two basic network devices; the device is passive and requires pairing of two adapters—one at the user outlet and one at the patch panel—to function correctly. The T-MOD 3-U5 is not suitable for splitting ports of active network equipment or for applications that require full gigabit performance.

Advantages

The splitter provides a simple and tool-free way to share a single UTP line between two 100Base-T devices. Its gold- and nickel-plated contacts ensure reliable signal contact over repeated insertions, and the compact plastic housing is compatible with standard RJ45 cabling and wall outlets. The product is passive, requires no power, and supports basic Ethernet communication where wiring constraints prevent running a second cable.

Suitable for

• Splitting one Ethernet run into two 100Base-T connections for basic devices
• Home networks with limited cabling
• Small offices where two devices must share one cable and gigabit speed is not required

How to use

Install one T-MOD 3-U5 at the patch panel end of the Ethernet cable and the matching T-MOD 3-U5 at the wall socket or device-end outlet. Connect the two target devices using standard RJ45 patch cords to the splitter’s RJ45 ports. Ensure both adapters are used as a pair; using a single adapter alone will not split the port. Do not attempt to use these passive splitters to connect or split ports on active network hardware such as switches that require dedicated ports.

Usage recommendations

Use the SOLARIX T-MOD 3-U5 only for 100Base-T applications and short-distance links. For gigabit connections or when connecting active networking equipment, use a network switch or run a separate cable. Always install one adapter at each end of the cable run and avoid using the device in environments outside the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
