  • Connect the network cable to the switch by splitting it into two parts

    Connect the network cable to the switch by splitting it into two parts

    An Ethernet splitter kit consists of two separate adapters: one connects to the router/switch and one connects to the receiving devices. From patch panel regular CAT5 cable goes to a switch. Although those two devices do need to share the overall connection speed of the Ethernet cable. When you need to connect multiple wired devices like computers, printers, and IP phones, but only have one Ethernet wall port, using an Ethernet splitter or network switch can expand your connectivity without rewiring. This guide explains your options and helps you choose the best solution for your. Can one LAN ethernet signal be split into 2-4 seperate signals? (for instance, connect to multiple APs?) All 4 ports share the combined speed back to your router. This comes in handy, especially when there are many gadgets.
