"RCA Coupler, Female / Female Gold" Review

'RCA Coupler, Female / Female Gold'
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The couplers work as expected and seem to be of fine quality.However I found pretty much the same thing cheaper at Wal-Mart (and no shipping costs).I could be mistaken, but the "gold" simpler refers to the color and not the material used for plating.Either way, even if they are gold(Au) plated this is not of value to me.

I have one of these in every laptop bag - when I travel to hotels, if they don't have wireless internet I don't want to take a gamble on the network cable being too short to put the PC where I want it.So I pack one of these babies and an extra network cable - and length is never an issue.

Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8 Review

Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8

Be aware that if you are using a stereo source (two channels, red/white), you can butter it up all you want, but you are not getting surround sound. The closest you can physically get to true non-stereo sound with a stereo source is using Dolby Pro-Logic and Pro-Logic II. But to achieve that, you need a Dolby Pro-Logic/II receiver which would cost a pretty penny. This clearly does not do this.

What this adapter does, is the same thing you would achieve by splicing the rear left, front left, and center speaker wire together and connecting it to a single-channel plug (a white RCA plug). Then the same thing being repeated for the right channel with front right, rear right, and center.

Using this adapter, the sound will be all around you, but it won't be surround sound. You won't hear space ships and laser blasts flying around you, you won't hear dialog coming directly from the TV, music from the left and right, and special effects from behind you, nor will you hear any of the other advantages of a real surround sound system. It recreates two really big stereo speakers. That is all. You will hear one set of sounds on the left speakers, and another set of sounds on the right speakers. The same sound that is in your FRONT left speaker will be coming out of your REAR left speaker. Your center speaker just outputs the sound from both front left and front right speaker. The exact same thing can be accomplished by just running a speaker wire from your left speaker to another speaker behind you. What you will hear is two distinctive channels (left and right), but duplicated and sent to the back speakers. Actual 5.1 surround consists of 6 individual channels, one per speaker, plus the subwoofer.

This device does not allow 5.1 surround sound. If you buy an expensive 5.1 speaker set, you are selling yourself short.

Now if you don't care about this and you are just trying to utilize your 5.1 setup on a stereo source, by all means, the product works great. But if you are trying to avoid buying an AV receiver, you will be strongly disappointed.

Do you have 2 short ethernet cables? Do you need 1 longer ethernet cable? Then this is your cheap solution instead of buying another longer cable (which costs more money).

Make sure to place in a stationary location away from high traffic zones with moving parts/people for best results.

Rj45 Cat5 Network Splitter Cable Extender Plug Coupler Review

Rj45 Cat5 Network Splitter Cable Extender Plug Coupler
Average Reviews:

I have a couple of units on my TV that have Internet capability but they are a long way from my router. I bought one Cmple - Ethernet Cable CAT6 - 100 FT / 30.48 M, Blue (here on Amazon) and ran it to my router (faster, more reliable, and cheaper than a wireless box). It worked well plugged into either device but was difficult to move from device to device as the plugs are on the back and the devices are in a cabinet. I thought this device might be the solution to my problem. It could have been but didn't work out for my situation.

I have a DISH satellite receiver and a Sony Blu-Ray player, both with Internet capability. I only need to use one at a time so I thought this plug would be an inexpensive solution so I ordered it.

It arrived by mail and I hooked it up. Without going into my troubleshooting effort here are the results. Look at the picture of the device to reference the different plugs. The plug on the back goes to the long CAT6 cable and the left/right plugs are for the two devices. Inspecting the item I found the back connector and the right connector had stiff springy wires like to find on most such cables. However, the wires on the left connector are less springy and can be easily bent. They seem to be used to actually connect the back connector electrically to the right connector, so when you plug into this connector you are pressing on the interconnect wires. On my unit these wires were not tight enough and bent to the sides slightly and nothing worked after that. I used a small screwdriver to try and straighten the wires but was unsuccessful.

Almost the same time as the coupler arrived I received a nice email from the folks who sent it to me asking for my evaluation. I reported my findings and they immediately sent another unit, I didn't even have to ask or return the first one. Great service. The new unit arrived a few days later. It is built the same but the left plug wires were stretched a bit tighter. The first time I plugged into it one wire moved slight to the right. I straighted it with my small screwdriver and had no further problems.

With all three cables attached and the Sony player turned off the DISH network worked fine. However, even when you place the DISH box in standby it still seems to be active on the network so I was unable to use the Sony player with the DISH receiver plugged in. Unplugging the DISH cable allowed the Sony to work fine. So, to use the product I could turn off the Sony device which was fine but I could not use the Sony without unplugging the DISH cable. I used it this way for a couple of weeks but eventually replaced it with an active network switch from Netgear.

The results are: If you have two devices to share the cable and they can both be turned off when not needed then this coupler will likely work fine. If one can be turned off and the other easily unplugged when not in use (like a netbook for example) then it will work fine. The device is also quite usable using only two of the connections to extend the length a CAT5 or CAT6 cable connection with a second cable (it is cheaper than some couplers with only two connections). It might also be useful if you had a need to monitor the cable activity with a tester that could be plugged into the third connector. The company was very responsive. I will keep it for possible future use.

Ethernet RJ45 Splitter Cable Sharing Kit For Networking Computer and VoIP ATA Review

Ethernet RJ45 Splitter Cable Sharing Kit For Networking Computer and VoIP ATA
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, I'm not a tech guy, and perhaps I'm not using the product for what it was meant to do.But I've got a PS3 and an xbox360 and an ethernet-ready TV on the other end of my house, and only one ethernet cable run over there.I was tired of unplugging and plugging the cable to the device I needed to use.

Anyway, it doesn't really work - or it's very spotty.After running this by my geeky friends, they confirmed it and said you need a device that actively separates bandwidth and assigns ISPs or something.Anyway, long story short, I needed a "hub", which looks just like my "router" except it only cost $30 and was easy to install.

Don't want to knock the product, like I said, perhaps I wasn't using it the way the mfr. intended.But if you're hoping you can use it to just add ethernet plugs like a telephone splitter I guess it's more complicated than that!Good luck.

Product Description:
[Seller's Warning: Dear potential buyers, please read the following product description very carefully, and make sure you understand how it works before you buy it. I don't want to see that you leave me a negative feedback just because you have purchased what you don't understand.] This network cable sharing kit includes two RJ45 splitters and three 1-foot Cat5e patch cables. it is used for connecting two network devices (PC, IP telephone/VoIP ATA) to an Ethernet switch by a single cable run (e.g. Cat5e), a great way to save your cabling cost and labor!This RJ45 splitter cable sharing kit also provides a great "green" approach for networking your PCs and IP phones because they are passive devices which simply do not consume any power! Again, this product is for cable sharing, it is NOT for splitting one network port into two network ports. If what you need is to "split" one network port into two, you need to use a router or Ethernet switch/hub.
