Review on RJ45 Female AB 2-Way Switch Box by Mark Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

* RJ45, AB 2-Way Switch Box

In short, the product is perfect for my application. I'm a radio amateur dealing with digital modes, ARES/RACES and Skywarn. I use the USB signal port to connect my computer to the radio. I have an FT450AT that I use on HF frequencies and an FT8800R that I use on VHF/UHF. I bought a radio to signalink cable for each radio. These cables have RJ45 (Ethernet) connectors on the signal link end. I connected a short RJ45 cable between Signalink and the switch I/O port and connected the cables from the radio to ports A and B. Now all that's left to do is flip the switch, rather than pulling out Signallink to switch wires or pulling out to run a wire from one radio to the other (both radios share the same 6-pin data connector, so use the same type of wire).

Pros
  • KVM Switches
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
