Product Description
This 2-port passive splitter is a handy item when you need another network connection but don't have the time or the money to add another cable drop. Simply plug one device to your work area network port and another unit to the corresponding patch panel port. Now you can run two network devices over the same network cable. This item must be used in pairs for each installation, one on each end of the cable.

 Do you know how this works? August 8, 2008

I dont own this item, but I'm thinking of buying some, then I saw the bad reviews..
From reading the reviews, it seems, at least from the first one, that the person didn't know how to use the item.. This is NOT a 3 port switch. You can NOT plug the male plug into a switch and have it run two PCs... It is splitting the 4 pairs (8 wires) into TWO separate two-pair outlets.
Ethernet only uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, leaving 4, 5, 7, and 8 unused. This device connects pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 on the male to 1, 2, 3, and 6 on one of the femals jacks, and pins 4, 5,7, and 8 of the male go to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 of the OTHER female, giving you two separate paths of pins 1, 2, 3 and 6.
The idea is that if you need two PCs where you only have one jack in the wall, you plug one of these into the jack, and another one into the patch panel, and it allows you to hook two PCs to two separate switch ports. You will STILL need 2 separate switch ports to connect your two PCs, and you will ALWAYS need these splitters in pairs because you'll need to have one on each end of your 4-pair house cable.
Now.. Does this make sense? And, given this description, are any of the negative reviews still valid? I dont want to buy a piece of junk, but as this is not even an active device, but rather just like a wiring adapter, I can't imagine that it could fail, short of it being a physically poorly constructed device...

My first splitter worked for one day, than stopped working.
Customer service was ok, send me a free replacement. Replacement didn't work at all.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS.
BEWARE! Do NOT buy from ANTOnline. This is a Rip Off! June 13, 2008

Unfortunately the other reviewers' comments were left after I had purchased this item. They are right. Not only does the Splitter not work, but the company makes you jump through hoops to get a response and their only response was if you opened it they do not take returns or give refunds. How are you supposed to know that the item doesn't work without opening it? So, save yourself the time and frustration and just pass by ANYTHING sold by ANTOnline or Cables to Go. Its a racket.

I already gave this item (I even made the mistake of purchasing 2!) my review earlier and I'm reiterating it that the splitter doesn't work. And when I tried to inquire about returning it to the seller for a refund because I can't use them, I was told it will cost me more to ship it back. So much for customer satisfaction.
