Engineered for Reliability and Ease

The key advantage is its plug-and-play simplicity. There’s no complex configuration. Essentially, it acts as a straightforward port multiplier. The aluminum alloy body not only protects the internal circuitry but also helps dissipate heat during prolonged use, ensuring long-term durability. The metal casing may become slightly warm during continuous high-bandwidth use, which is normal and indicates it is effectively dissipating heat to protect the internal chip. For optimal placement, use UGREEN cable clips to keep your setup tidy. Discover more connectivity solutions

• Compatible Devices & Estimated Performance:
  • This network splitter is compatible with any device that has an RJ45 Ethernet port. It works with routers, modems, network switches, desktop PCs, laptops, gaming consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X/S), smart TVs, streaming boxes (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV), printers, NAS drives, IP cameras, and any other Ethernet-enabled device.
  • When both output ports are used simultaneously, the total bandwidth is shared from the single 1Gbps input connection. For example, if you have a 500Mbps internet plan and both connected devices are actively transferring data, they will share the available bandwidth. In typical home use scenarios – such as gaming on one device while streaming 4K video on another – both devices will perform smoothly as 4K streaming typically uses 25-50Mbps and online gaming uses 5-10Mbps. For maximum simultaneous full-speed performance, a dedicated network switch would be required.
  • The splitter supports full 1000Mbps (1Gbps) speeds when your router and internet plan support it. For 100Mbps internet connections, the splitter will automatically negotiate down to match your network speed, providing optimal performance without any configuration needed. The metal shielding ensures stable signal transmission even in environments with electromagnetic interference from nearby power cables, wireless devices, or other electronics.

*Note: This splitter requires a 5V power supply via USB-C. It does not receive power from the Ethernet connection. Use any standard 5V USB charger, a USB port on your computer, router, or a power bank. The splitter does not include a power adapter or Ethernet cables.*

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this an Ethernet switch or a simple splitter?

A: This is a network splitter. It allows two devices to share a single connection from your router by splitting the signal. For more advanced features like simultaneous full-duplex communication on all ports, you would need a dedicated network switch. This is a 100% original product available from the Official UNITEK Store in Pakistan, ensuring authenticity and quality. Explore the full UNITEK networking collection

Q2: Can both output ports be used at the same time at full speed?

A: Yes, both ports can be used simultaneously. However, the total bandwidth is shared from the single 1Gbps input connection. If both connected devices are transferring data heavily, they will share the available 1Gbps bandwidth. For typical home use (gaming + streaming), performance is excellent. Purchase from the UNITEK Official Distributor in Pakistan to ensure you receive genuine products with full warranty support.

Q3: Do I need a special crossover cable?

A: No. This splitter supports Auto-MDI/MDIX , so you can use standard straight-through Ethernet cables (Cat5e, Cat6, or higher) for all connections. For guaranteed authenticity, always purchase from the UNITEK Pakistan Official Store.

Q4: What power source do I need?

A: It requires a 5V power supply via the USB-C port. You can use any standard 5V USB charger , a USB port on your computer, router, or even a power bank. This is a 100% original product available from the Official UGREEN Store in Pakistan (for related accessories), ensuring authenticity and quality.

Q5: Will it work with my 100 Mbps internet connection?

A: Yes, it is fully backward compatible. It will automatically negotiate down to 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps to match your router and internet service speed. Purchase from the UGREEN Official Distributor in Pakistan to ensure you receive genuine products with full warranty support.

Q6: Can I use it to connect two routers?

A: This is not designed for connecting two routers to create a complex network. Its primary use is to share a single internet connection from one router to two end devices like computers, printers, or gaming consoles. For guaranteed authenticity, always purchase from the UGREEN PK Official Store in Pakistan.

Q7: Does the metal casing get hot?

A: The aluminum alloy casing acts as a heat sink. It may become slightly warm during continuous high-bandwidth use, which is normal and indicates it is effectively dissipating heat to protect the internal chip. Check the UNITEK U1347A Price in Pakistan for exceptional value.

Q8: Is it suitable for online gaming?

A: Yes, it provides a stable, low-latency wired connection , which is superior to Wi-Fi for online gaming. Ensure your main internet connection and router are also high-speed for the best experience. When searching for the Best Gigabit Network Splitter in Pakistan , this metal-shielded splitter is the top choice for stable wired connections.

Q9: Can I connect it to a modem directly?

A: You should connect it to a router’s LAN port , not directly to a modem. The router assigns unique IP addresses to each connected device. Connecting two devices directly to a modem via a splitter will typically cause an IP conflict. This is a 100% original product available from the Official UNITEK Store in Pakistan, ensuring authenticity and quality.

Q10: What’s the difference between this and a cheap plastic splitter?

A: The metal shielding in this UNITEK model provides far better protection against electromagnetic interference , leading to a more stable connection and longer product life compared to unshielded plastic models. Purchase from the UNITEK Official Distributor in Pakistan or the UGREEN Official Distributor in Pakistan. All products come with original product warranty and fast delivery in Pakistan when you order from authorized retailers. Shop with confidence at UNITEK Pakistan
