4.0 out of 5 stars Y Adapter Does the Trick and It's White, January 29, 2009

First, the technical: This is a Y or T device. It connects 4 pins (red, green, black, yellow) to two sets of 4 pins (the standard 4 center pins of a 6-pin RJ11 jack). Thus, you can use this for two-lines. It is NOT a splitter. There are other products which will split the 4 wires of the plug into two separate, 2-line sockets, typically marked L1 and L2. This is NOT one of those. Both devices plugged into it will get the SAME 4 wires (2-lines).

Next, the construction: It is a quite cheap, made-in-China product. It feels cheap and has some bits of corrosion on the (brass plated-looking) contacts. Not impressive. It compares to others at local electronics stores that sell for 99 cents. The ones at local stores were, for me, beige. I have white outlets, white jacks, white phones, etc., and I didn't want a goofy beige adapter. So, I bought a few of thes GE ones from Amazon which are WHITE.

Finally, the rating. Considering the cheap construction and price premium for a different color, I cannot give it 5 stars.

Why am I even writting a review for this? It does what it has to do, works fine and it takes less than a minute to install.

For those of you who don't know what a splitter does, it basically splits one phone jack into two so instead of just plugging one phone, you get to plug in two! Or maybe a phone and a fax machine, a phone and a computer modem or a phone and a Sega Dreamcast! the possibilities are endless!

The release button feels a little cheap, it will probably break if you mess with it too much, but why would you? Other than that, everything is fine.

Just in case you were wondering, I use it to plug in the phone on one side and the DVR on the other, yeah I want to see who's calling me on the TV screen, that's all!

This is a simple device that will allow you to connect two telephone lines into one wall outlet. I bought a new corded phone but did not have an outlet for it. So I set it beside my wireless phone and connected them both to the one existing outlet with this handy little device.
