Ethernet splitter UGREEN NW301 / ML Adapter (1x2) — network port splitter

UGREEN NW301 ML Adapter (1x2) is an Ethernet splitter that divides a single RJ45 network connection into two physical ports to allow two devices to share one wired network line. The device provides basic physical separation without switching or routing functions; it operates as a passive adapter intended for simple scenarios where a single wall outlet or switch port must serve two endpoints. The compact, plug-and-play design requires no power or software and is compatible with standard Ethernet cables and typical home or small office network equipment.

Advantages

The UGREEN NW301 offers a simple, low-cost way to extend the utility of one Ethernet outlet by providing two ports while remaining passive and maintenance-free. Its plug-and-play operation means no configuration is necessary. The compact size and standard RJ45 connectors make it easy to integrate into existing wired setups without additional power supplies or drivers.

Suitable for

• Connecting two wired devices (PC, smart TV, printer) to one Ethernet wall outlet
• Temporary network sharing in small offices or apartments
• Home network setups where only one cable run is available

Key specifications

• Adapter type: 1x2 passive Ethernet splitter (RJ45)
• Cable compatibility: standard Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cables
• Data handling: passive port splitting without switching or traffic management
• Power: no external power required
• Physical: compact form factor with two RJ45 female/male connectors as provided by the manufacturer

How to use

Connect the adapter to the available Ethernet outlet or cable, then attach two Ethernet cables from the adapter to the devices you wish to connect. Because the NW301 is a passive splitter, full network connectivity for both devices simultaneously typically requires use with a paired splitter or an arrangement where the line is shared alternately or combined with a switch on one end. Ensure cables are fully inserted and that connected devices have appropriate network settings; no additional drivers or power are needed.

Usage recommendations

For stable simultaneous connections, use the adapter with a corresponding splitter or an Ethernet switch at one end of the cable run. Avoid relying on passive splitting for high-bandwidth or mission-critical applications; use a network switch or router when multiple devices need concurrent managed access.
