Power Button Kill Switch Shut Off for Ethernet Internet Network Cable Cord

These worked exactly as described. They are being really helpful with some POE cameras that I sometimes need to power cycle when the only other way would be to unplug and plug back in the ethernet cable which is behind an NVR box and very difficult to reach. Now, turning them on or off is as easy as flipping a switch.

Turn that internet off and on when needed no attacks from the internet.

If your ethernet is switched off, you know that no remote user is accessing your system, and that no malware is broadcasting out when the machine is asleep.Great to have in this age of surveillance and the Shadowgate (see the documentary).This product works reliably and is built solid.I am using the optional adapter in-line,that connects two cables instead of one,and my plugs occasionally slip under tension in it so thatthe ethernet disconnects.This may be a function of my plugs being small.Putting a thin layer of plumber's tape around the plugs(but not over the metal connectors) solves this.Enjoy this unique product.

It works for a short period... 2 months, then won't work consistently. It has a faulty switch or something.

Great useful product if you are connected direct to the cable. Switching your internet connection made easy and more secure. Just watch out for the separate connector may be loose. No big deal, the product works great.

Here's the backstory...🔵 I have a Google Chromecast TV dongle set up on main 55" TV.🔵 I have an ethernet (cat 6) going from router to Chromecast's USB-C single input.🔵 The Chromecast can do Ethernet or WI-FI. But, it can not connect to wi-fi with the ethernet physically connected.🔵 Cox goes down a few times a week. When that happens I switch to wifi hotspot from my phone.🔵 Before the purchase, I had to do old-school & reach behind the TV, without bumping any of my other connections, and disconnect the cat6 to enable wifi in the dongle.🔵 I wanted an easier way to disconnect since retired people can be lazy now, if they want.🔵 It depended on the dongle software if this idea will work. If it just depends on a signal, then my idea will work; but, if it depends on the physical connection being severed it won't.TEST RESULTS:🔵 Unit works fine with my cat6 & Google Chromecast TV. Did a speedtest ping before & after install and results were negligible. 👍🔵 I hooked it up, then tested to see if I could tell of any degradation of signal & whether the Google Chromecast TV would allow a Wi-Fi connection with your switch OFF.🔵 I then read the instructions & took note of the direction to hook up the in-line switch. I checked and I had it backwards to the instructions so I rewired. Surprisingly, the results were almost the same.

Love this unit. Allows me to completely disconnect from the internet at night or when not using my PC. Easy connect/disconnect with no drop in speed over a simple non-switched ethernet cable. Liked it so much I bought another one for my son's PC.

Works great and very easy to set up.
