String Split for only first time

I want to split the below input string as output string.
Input = 'ABC1:ABC2:ABC3:ABC4'
Output = ['ABC1','ABC2:ABC3:ABC4'] 

let a = 'ABC1:ABC2:ABC3:ABC4'
a.split(':', 2); // not working returning ['ABC1','ABC2']

console.log('ABC1:ABC2:ABC3:ABC4'.replace(':','@').split('@'));

You can use indexOf and slice:

var a = 'ABC1:ABC2:ABC3:ABC4';

var indexToSplit = a.indexOf(':');
var first = a.slice(0, indexToSplit);
var second = a.slice(indexToSplit + 1);

console.log(first);
console.log(second);

let a = 'ABC1:ABC2:ABC3:ABC4'
const head = a.split(':', 1);
const tail = a.split(':').splice(1);

const result = head.concat(tail.join(':'));
console.log(result); // ==> ["ABC1", "ABC2:ABC3:ABC4"]

You can use this, works in all browsers

var nString = 'ABC1:ABC2:ABC3:ABC4';
var result = nString.split(/:(.+)/).slice(0,-1);
console.log(result);
