MicroConnect RJ45 Y-adapter
RJ45, RJ45 (2x)
Question about MicroConnect RJ45 Y-adapter
Does the adapter also work "backwards"? That is, if I connect a 10m cable to a LAN socket and to one of the double connections of the adapter? Are all connections then supplied?

Hello Gazelle, you are welcome to try out the adapter, 079 627 63 29, Greetings U. Lehmann
The question is old, but I'll try to answer it anyway...
The three connections (1x plug, 2x socket) are NOT all connected 1:1 as with a "double plug". The adapter splits the 4 existing wire pairs (1/2, 3/6, 5/4, 7/8) from the plug to the two sockets as follows:
1/2 --> A 1/2
3/6 --> A 3/6
5/4 --> B 1/2
7/8 --> B 3/6
(The assignment is a guess, I do not own this adapter. However, I do have a Value RJ45 T-Adapter (UTP, Cat. 5e) in use.)
With this you can use an 8-wire cable (four wire pairs) for 2x 100MBit/s (requires only two wire pairs). However, you always need such an adapter on both sides!
If you want to extend the cable: There are double couplings for this purpose, e.g. Roline RJ45 coupling (S/STP, Cat. 6).
For "sharing" a connection with several devices: A switch.
