This device splits one cable with eight wires into two separate sections, each containing four wires. Have you verified the integrity of all eight connections using an Ethernet tester? Also confirm that the new wires from the splitters look like Cat3 cables. Test basic connectivity by linking both ports at the splitter’s IDF end to a switch and connecting a laptop elsewhere. The printer should work fine, supporting 100Mb Full Duplex. Mode B is typically used for non-gigabit setups, where power wires are kept separate from data wires—this is the standard here. Mode A would supply power through the data lines, but you’ll need all devices to support this configuration.
