About this deal

As implied by its name, Ethernet splitter can divide a single Internet connection into two. With Ethernet splitter, other devices can share the Ethernet signal. In fact, other devices like Ethernet hub and switch can also help you split Ethernet connection. These devices do that in different ways. It's not a "splitter" per se, and shouldn't be marketed as one. It would be better to call it a "cable sharer". With the right Ethernet adapter, you can even power your branching Ethernet solution using a USB connection, making it perfect for portable high-speed connectivity on the go.

Computer-A could infact be a hub or a switch, but you still have the problem of Computer-B's and Computer-C's TX and RX ports being wired together. Expand one RJ 45 outlet into two, standard 8P8C design. Please noted that only One port could be used at one time What your Ethernet Splitter is doing is just adding in a Computer-C beside Computer-B, so that Computer B&C's pins are wired together, pin 1 to pin 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3 etc. At best, your devices will not work, at worst you will damage your Ethernet ports. NOTE: Don't support 2 computers that connect to the internet simultaneously, ONLY 1 output port is working. NOTE: This Ethernet splitter allows two computers to share one Ethernet line ONE AT A TIME, but it doesn't support both computer to connect onto the internet simultaneouslyAlthough they use different USB connectors, they both offer full USB 3.1 bandwidth, allowing for up to 1Gbps Ethernet speeds for any connected device. This works best in a close-knit office or home environment when the other devices can be relatively close to the device equipped with the Ethernet adapter, although they don’t have to be if you can run long enough Ethernet cables.

Every ethernet network connects terminals via a splitter, so to speak. A splitter is just a parallel configuration of devices. It's useful to understand what a splitter does. It turns one 8-strand ethernet cable into a what would be, essentially, a pair of sub-standard 4-strand cables that in theory should do Fast Ethernet (100BaseT/TX). Practically this might drop down to 10BaseT speeds, and you need to use a splitter on both ends for it to work. It will take up two ethernet ports on the far end. It will absolutely not work for Gigabit (1000Base) Ethernet, as that requires all 8 strands. If we want to do ugly things then we can try to use one 8-wire cable as two 4-wire cables. This most likely will run your cable out of spec and the connection may be unreliable.

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 mitigate this problem by enhancing your network. Using a router that supports 2.5 Gbps, or even 10 Gbps Ethernet is a good start. Pair that with Cat 6 or newer Ethernet cables that support that kind of high-speed networking with adequate shielding to protect the sanctity of your data. Even if you end up splitting that high-speed connection between devices, it’s at least fast enough that no one should feel like they’re missing out by sharing the total throughput.
