I have two Ethernet cables I would like to connect. I don't know their types or brands, but can I use this to connect them?

Check the cables first by comparing the connectors side by side to see that the same color wires are in the same positions. If they are, then you can use this device.

Answer is yes (highly likely that each of your Ethernet cables has the common CAT 5c/RJ45-connector. If not the case (ie cable has non-RJ45-connector that doesn't fit into the coupler, then you'll need to research as to what type the connector (male) is present on each of thecables) and purchase a coupler that's compatible with them.

Yes you can. I use it to wirelessly connect a tv/bd player but anything with an ethernet connection can be connected.

I think the ethernet cuts out when you plug in the usb, so don't think they both work together.

You may use crossover cable to connect it to another switch. All the ports in the switch have the capability to determine what kind of cable is connected to it but it is recommended to use at least CAT5 type of Ethernet cable.

This coupling does not fit an ethernet cable. This coupling if for a phone line only. However they do sell one for an ethernet use.

This is designed to connect to an existing WIFI network. It will not work if connected to the network via an Ethernet cable.

You can't do that, you need two separate plugins on a router to do that. If your modem only has one ethernet plug, you will need to get a router to provide for more devices.

We used this as a coupler to hook 2 Ethernet cables together. At this price, buy 2 and try it out.

This is solely used to connect devices that only take Ethernet cables to a wireless network. So you would need a wireless network set up for this device to connect to.

Sorry I can't help. This device did not meet my need. I can't remember now what I wanted it to do. I am doubtful that it would do much ethernet connecting. But please don't take that as fact

It's only got 1 Ethernet port. With that said, I've been considering attaching a hub to it to connect more and I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work.

@ T. Vanlienden... Yes, this is exactly what I use mine for. One must keep in mind however, that this is a USB 2 and therefor the speeds are not going to be like a pure ethernet connection. As long as you're OK with the slower speed, this should work just fine for you. Hope this helps...

If I understand the question, I'm afraid that this is not designed for the scenario you describe. You need a switch or hub. These splitters are intended to be used as pairs, one at either end of a cable run, and will allow the data from 2 Ethernet cables to travel across a single line to another 2 ethernet cables hooked up to this adapter on the other end.

if your devices have a mini USB connector and have the software in the OS than yes you should be able to connect it the ethernet line

I have not tried this configuration, but, this product acts like an ethernet cable using your home power. As long as the units identify themselves to each other, I think it might work.

Chances are you are using a CAT5 Ethernet cable which will not work. It is very easy to confuse the two. Order an RJ45 and you'll be ready to rock!

No.If you had two separate Ethernet cables and wanted to use each of them with the same device, but not at the same time, then this would help you.
