I would like to have my TV wired to Ethernet to get a better speeds. I already have an Ethernet jack behind my tv but it is dedicated to my Sonos system. Am I able to split that to the Sonos ARC and my Apple TV without any issue?

I think you're talking about an ethernet switch.

I was talking about this but after just reading only one device can be powered at the same time. I’ll go with the switch. Thanks guys.

What everyone before me said.

Switch is basically the best way to go


If for some really weird reason you don’t have power at the other end and need to turn one cable into two, you can use:
this $10 adapter if you understand what it does.
You can run 10/100 (not gigabit) Ethernet over two twisted pairs of wires. Each Ethernet cable has 8 (4 pairs). If you plug two short wires into your switch/router that is already being used, then the current wire that is attached to the wall to the single port, then on the other side, the single port + 2 wires to the 2 devices, you can connect them all at 100mbps, which should be sufficient for all practical purposes.


Make sure you look at the diagrams and understand them before you try it, or you’ll be upset that it doesn’t work. You’ll get better results with a switch. You can probably get a switch damn near as cheap as one of these nifty splitters (and you could actually just split the wire yourself and do this, but this is a lazy man’s solution to avoid explaining how to do that, and then you’re buying new keystone jacks or rj45 connectors + wall plates…it could even be as/more pricy depending on what you use)


So, if you have an aesthetics or available power problem on one end, there is another option. But a switch is better.

You mean switch right?

Probably TP-link/linksys line for any general use at home. Is it just an access switch for your multiple connections to be connected to router? Usually see port capacity of 5,8,10,16,24,48
