UGREEN CM210 RJ45 Splitter Adapter 2 Pack is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 1,600, supplying a matched pair of 1-to-2 Ethernet splitters that carry wired internet to two separate devices over a single existing cable run at up to 100Mbps across distances reaching 100 metres. The set arrives brand new and sealed, finished in matte black ABS plastic with a thickened metal shielding layer and nickel-plated contacts. Both pieces of the UGREEN CM210 RJ45 Splitter Adapter 2 Pack are stocked at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, ready for same-day collection.
Most Kenyan apartments, hostels, and older office blocks were wired with exactly one network point per room. That single socket becomes a daily argument once a desktop, a decoder, a console, and a printer all want a cabled link. The UGREEN CM210 RJ45 Splitter Adapter removes the argument without a technician, a wall chase, or a second cable pulled through a ceiling. Landlords in Kilimani and Ngara, cyber café operators along Moi Avenue, hostel residents at Kenyatta University, and small accounting practices in Nairobi CBD use this pair to double a wall point in under a minute.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock unbranded splitters with no shielding and thin pressed pins, Mascom International supplies the genuine UGREEN CM210 RJ45 Splitter Adapter with its metal shield layer and thickened PCB intact. Users consistently report steady 100Mbps throughput on Safaricom Home Fibre and Zuku lines once both ends are fitted correctly. At Mascom International, we are seeing steady demand from installers who buy the UGREEN CM210 RJ45 Splitter Adapter in multiples for tenant fit-outs. Walk into Kimathi Street to collect a pair, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM210 RJ45 Splitter Adapter
Do I need both splitters, or does one unit work alone?
You need both, and that is why UGREEN sells them as a pair. One splitter sits at the source end, the other at the destination end, and the single cable between them carries two independent links. A single unit used on its own works only as a straight-through cable extender, with just interface 1 active. The 2 Pack is therefore one complete splitting setup, not two separate setups. Buying two packs gives you two rooms covered.
Will this splitter give me full gigabit speed on each port?
No. Each port runs at up to 100Mbps, not 1000Mbps, and this is a physical limit rather than a fault. A standard Ethernet cable holds four twisted pairs. Gigabit uses all four; this splitter assigns two pairs to one device and two pairs to the other, which caps both at Fast Ethernet speed. For browsing, M-Pesa and banking apps, IPTV streaming, CCTV recorders, printers, and video calls, 100Mbps per port is more than most Kenyan home packages actually supply.
What can I realistically connect to it in a Kenyan home or office?
Two wired devices per pair, in any combination. Common Nairobi setups pair a decoder or IPTV box with a desktop, a network video recorder with an access point, a printer with a workstation, or a console with a Wi-Fi router in a bedroom that has only one socket. The splitter passes data only, so each connected device still needs its own mains power. It sits inline and requires no configuration on either machine.
How far can the cable run between the two splitters?
Up to 100 metres, matching the standard copper Ethernet limit. That covers a three-storey Kikuyu maisonette, a warehouse floor in Industrial Area, or a run from a Kilimani reception desk to a back office. Beyond 100 metres, signal loss begins and you need a switch or repeater mid-run. Use solid Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable for the longest spans, since thin patch leads lose more signal over distance than proper installation-grade copper.
Does it need drivers, software, or a power supply?
None of the three. The UGREEN CM210 is a passive plug-and-play part with no chipset, no firmware, and no mains connection. You plug it in, and the link comes up. Windows, macOS, Linux, Android TV boxes, decoders, DVRs, and consoles all treat the connection as an ordinary wired port. That also means nothing to update, nothing to fail during a Kenya Power outage, and no drop in speed as it ages.
Why buy this instead of a network switch?
Cost, power draw, and simplicity. A basic five-port switch in Nairobi typically costs KSh 2,500 to KSh 4,500, occupies a socket, and adds another box that dies in a surge. This pair costs KSh 1,600, draws nothing, and hides behind the furniture. A switch is the better answer when you need three or more devices, gigabit speed, or one cable feeding many ports. For exactly two devices at 100Mbps, this pair does the job cheaper.
Which cable types and categories does it work with?
Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a cables all seat correctly, since the housing takes any standard RJ45 8P8C plug. The splitter itself is rated for 100Mbps traffic, so a higher cable category will not raise the ceiling, though better cable still helps over long spans. Both shielded and unshielded leads fit. UGREEN NW102 flat Cat 6 patch cables, also stocked at Mascom International, pair with these splitters cleanly.
How does it hold up to daily Kenyan conditions?
The matte ABS shell resists fingerprints, scratches, and the dust that settles on server shelves and TV units. A thickened metal shielding layer wraps the internal board, cutting interference from nearby power cables, fluorescent ballasts, and inverters. Nickel-plated pins resist oxidation in humid coastal air in Mombasa, Malindi, and Diani. There are no moving parts and no battery, so the usual accessory failure points simply are not present on this splitter.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Port Layout
- Splits one RJ45 line into two independent wired connections when a matched pair is fitted at both cable ends.
- Each unit carries one single-port face and one dual-port face, clearly numbered interface 1 and interface 2.
- Interface 1 alone stays active when a single unit is used, turning it into a straight cable coupler.
- Passive design with no chipset, meaning zero configuration on routers, decoders, recorders, or computers.
- Model reference CM210, UGREEN item number 50923, EAN 6957303859238 for verification against supplier stock.
Transmission Speed and Cable Distance
- Rated at 100Mbps per port, matching Fast Ethernet and covering most Kenyan home fibre packages comfortably.
- Splits the cable's four twisted pairs two-and-two, which is why gigabit speed is not available.
- Supports total runs up to 100 metres between the paired splitters, the standard copper Ethernet distance limit.
- Pure copper conductor path keeps signal loss low across full-length runs in multi-storey buildings.
- Latency stays effectively unchanged, so gaming, Zoom calls, and Microsoft Teams sessions behave normally.
- Throughput is shared per port, not halved, since each device gets its own dedicated pair set.
Device and Cable Compatibility
- Accepts any standard RJ45 8P8C plug, covering Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a leads.
- Works with routers, desktops, laptops, decoders, IPTV boxes, network video recorders, printers, and consoles.
- Compatible with Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, JTL Faiba, and Telkom Kenya fixed-line router LAN ports.
- Shielded and unshielded cable both seat correctly; shielded leads help most near heavy electrical runs.
- No operating system dependency, so Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android TV hardware all connect identically.
Build Quality and Internal Shielding
- Matte ABS plastic housing resists scratches, scuffs, and fingerprint marks on visible TV and desk installations.
- Thickened metal shielding layer wraps the internal board, reducing crosstalk from nearby mains and lighting circuits.
- Thickened PCB with reinforced solder joints holds up to repeated plugging and unplugging during installs.
- Nickel-plated contact pins resist oxidation, which matters in humid Mombasa, Kilifi, and Kwale conditions.
- High-temperature-resistant injection moulding keeps the shell stable inside warm ceiling voids and cabinets.
- Port openings are tight enough to hold the plug clip firmly without loosening after repeated reseating.
- No vents or seams collect dust, so a wipe with a dry cloth restores the finish.
Installation and Everyday Use
- Fits in under a minute: plug one unit at the router, the matching unit at the far room.
- Requires no mains socket, no adapter, and no battery, so nothing fails during a Kenya Power outage.
- Add-in device order does not matter; either dual port feeds either device without swapping anything over.
- Small enough to sit behind a decoder, inside a wall trunking box, or under a desk edge.
- Removing it later leaves the original cabling completely untouched, useful for rented apartments and short leases.
- Label each end during installation so future troubleshooting does not require tracing the cable through walls.
- Test both links before closing trunking, since a loose plug at either end drops one connection.
Pack Configuration and Physical Size
- Ships as a 2 Pack, which is exactly one complete splitting setup rather than two independent setups.
- Each unit measures roughly 45 x 40.5 x 22mm, small enough for cramped wall boxes and cabinets.
- Combined pack weight is about 35 grams, adding no strain to a hanging cable or wall plate.
- Matte black finish blends into dark TV units, network cabinets, and skirting-level trunking runs.
- Buy multiple packs when covering several rooms, since each room split needs its own matched pair.
