FAQ
What is the purpose of this RJ-45 modular splitter?
The Black Box FM800-R2 modular splitter distributes a single network signal to multiple outputs through its five RJ-45 ports. It is designed for use in patch panels to reduce cable clutter and simplify network management by allowing one connection to serve several devices or ports efficiently.
How many ports does the FM800-R2 splitter have?
This splitter features five RJ-45 ports, configured in a 5-position layout. This allows one input signal to be split into four additional outputs, making it suitable for small to medium-scale network distribution tasks without requiring complex hardware.
What does '8 x 8' wiring configuration mean?
The '8 x 8' wiring configuration refers to the internal wiring pattern where all eight conductors in the RJ-45 connector are connected across all ports consistently. This ensures full signal transmission compatibility with standard Ethernet cables, maintaining integrity for data, voice, or other network signals.
Is this splitter shielded or unshielded?
The FM800-R2 is an unshielded splitter. This design provides a lightweight and flexible solution suitable for environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal, offering a cost-effective option for basic network distribution without the added bulk of shielding.
What type of warranty does Black Box offer for this product?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for the FM800-R2 modular splitter. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifespan, ensuring long-term reliability and support for network administrators and IT professionals.
Where is the FM800-R2 splitter manufactured?
