The MicroConnect MPK418 network splitter is designed to allow users to run a single cable instead of two through walls, floors, and ceilings. It is suitable for installations where simplified wiring is required and where two separate connections would otherwise be necessary. The splitter must be used in pairs for proper operation. It is appropriate for network cabling scenarios that require a convenient through-connection solution and is manufactured by MicroConnect under the model MPK418. This is a passive Ethernet splitter/adapter device, not an active network device.
