Ethernet Splitter for Networking Purposes
If you have more than one PC at home or in an office area, more likely you will want to distribute the internet connection among all the PC’s so that all the users can access the internet at once. For this purpose you can employ an ethernet splitter to construct a network where all the computers can be linked to utilize the web connection. So the network is basically all the computers linked by a communications device which facilitates communicating resources among all the users.
If it is not convenient enough for you to get an ethernet splitter, then you can utilize this article to learn how you can create one on your own. However, it takes time, tolerance and a little understanding of networking. By setting up an Ethernet splitter, you will be able to link two or more computers at the same time on one Ethernet outlet.
In order to create your own ethernet splitters you will require some materials and tools including two RJ45 Crimpable Plug, four RJ-45 keystone jack, a short Ethernet Cable Scrap around 2 feet in length and instruments such as a RJ45 Crimp Tool Craft knife, 110 Punch Down Tool, Loctite  Super Glue. First you will need to crease the RJ45 Plug to the Ethernet wire. For this to be done you will require to read a configuration scheme taken from a hardware book or from the directions on the package.
Now use the 110 Punch Down Mechanism to press down the other side to the RJ-45 keystone jacks and use the other side of the cable and slice it to 9 inches and punch down the four pairs by using this wiring code, Jack #1: 1 White/Orange to pin 1keystone jack 2 Orange to pin 2 keystone jack 3 White/Green to pin 3 keystone jack 6 Green to pin 6 keystone jack #2: 4 Blue to pin 2 keystone jack 5 White/Blue to pin 1 keystone jack 7 White/Brown to pin.
Use the previous information to make one more splitter so you eventually create two splitters. Plug one splitter to the RJ45 wall plate and plug the two computers to the splitter. Now plug the other splitter to the patch panel and put two patch cables from the splitter to two free Ethernet cables from the switch. If your splitter cables are correct then the two links from the switch on which the patch cord are joint should turn on. After this installation is complete, then you will be able to setup two PC systems simultaneously connected using only one Ethernet cord. This method is similar to Power over Ethernet but instead of inserting DC, it is insering another data. It is better if you can to draw one more Ethernet cable from the patch board to the wall plate. Once you use these instructions then you should create a successful Ethernet splitter, if not you will need to restart the procedure all over again.
