Every ethernet network connects terminals via a splitter, so to speak. A splitter is just a parallel configuration of devices. A splitter works by taking two physical Ethernet ports and sending both connections (which must be limited to using 100mbps speeds) though a single cable. A splitter doesn't connect both ports together in any way. It keeps both ports isolated unlike hubs and switches. It's not a "splitter" per se, and shouldn't be marketed as one. It would be better to call it a "cable sharer".
All ethernet devices on one network are connected together, in this simplest way. All terminals must be connected to the same network wire. You still need 2 free ports on your existing switch/router. Switches/routers only provide one connection per port. Trying to use a splitter to turn one connection into two won't work since that's the job of switches/hubs which clearly, a splitter is not either of. If you attempt to use this two turn one connection into two, I see two possible scenarios: Only one device will receive a connection, or, the port on the switch/router will fail to work properly with both devices connected.
You can only compare up to four products at a time.
Network devices like switch, modem, splitter, and bridge are often used daily life. But many people may don’t know how do they work. Since some of them have been introduced in our previous articles, the point turns to splitter in this post.
Twisted pair Ethernet, 10base-T, 100base-TX, 1000bast-T, etc. all need to be connected end-to-end. At each there is a transmission (TX) pair, and reception (RX) pair. This is how a cross-over cable works. A great alternative to more traditional Ethernet splitters is Cable Matters‘ unique 4-Port USB Ethernet Adapter . It lets you split a single Ethernet port into four others, massively expanding your local network connectivity options and it does it without the need for any kind of external power source . For those using modern devices that offer only USB-C connectivity , there is a USB-C version as well. Alternatively, you could use a USB-C to USB-A adapter, and then plug the Ethernet adapter into that.T requires only two twisted pairs. So basically half of a Cat 5e cable. Just four out of the eight available wires. So if we’re only using half of the wires in the cable, couldn’t we make one cable act as two cables? Why yes! Yes we can! And that’s exactly what an ethernet splitter does! Although those two devices do need to share the overall connection speed of the Ethernet cable that runs between the router and the switch, it’s still far more reliable and stable than Wi-Fi which could see the two devices competing for frequency as much as bandwidth. Ethernet couplers are devices used to connect ethernet cable connections from one type to another. There can be various reasons to use a coupler such as to extend network cabling, split a signal allowing for two cables to be connected to a single port or to allow for different network cable types to be connected. Types of Ethernet Couplers So basically an Ethernet Y-splitter will give you two 100Base-T or 10Base-T connections from a 1000Base-T connection. Most ethernet wiring setups have four twisted pairs even if they are not needed for most uses. Thus why Y-splitters exist. The biggest issue is speed. Each data connection through a splitter is at 100Mbps. That means your 1000Mbps cable can carry a maximum of 200Mbps. This might not matter if you don’t need more than 100Mbps of bandwidth per device. It’s more than enough for 4K streaming and if your internet connection is less than 100Mbps, it’s also a moot point.
