Tripp Lite N035-001 RJ45 Splitter Adapter CAT5 Cat5e

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N035-001 is an RJ45 splitter adapter designed to split a single RJ45 port into two separate connections. It is a passive, plug-and-play connector used in structured cabling and network patch applications. The adapter fits into the CAT5 and CAT5e category of modular connectors and inserts, making it a standard component in low-voltage data distribution work. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network installers use this adapter when extending or splitting Ethernet runs at a wall jack, patch panel, or switch port.

This adapter is used in residential and light commercial structured cabling installations where a single RJ45 port needs to serve two network drops. Typical applications include office network setups, home data closets, and patch panel configurations where port count or cable routing requires splitting a single connection. It is a one-per-unit component suited for small-scale network work or as a temporary solution during network expansion.

Key Features

• Splits one RJ45 port into two separate RJ45 connections
• Compatible with CAT5 and CAT5e cabling infrastructure
• Passive design requires no external power
• Compact form factor for use at wall jacks, patch panels, or switch ports
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RJ45 modular splitter adapter for use with CAT5 and CAT5e structured cabling systems and components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network professionals and requires no special tools. Disconnect or power down any active network equipment before connecting or disconnecting the adapter to avoid data interruption. Note that splitting a single RJ45 port reduces available bandwidth and pinout allocation between the two resulting connections, which affects network performance. Follow applicable low-voltage wiring guidelines and local codes when integrating into a structured cabling system.
