I would like to take this 1 outlet coming out the wall and multiply it into 4 wires, for desktop, Playstation, TV and laptop, without losing any Internet bandwidth. I have absolutely no idea whether this line is coming from a switch or a router but I have been researching Ethernet splitter, routers, switches, hubs and haven't found a solid answer.

Jun 7, 2014 · If you understand that ethernet is one-line communication, and you understand how a Switch works, I don't understand your question. If you split an Ethernet cable it no longer would result in one-line communicaton because two devices would be on the exact same line. You understand how a switch right?

Dec 27, 2015 · 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.

Jan 17, 2016 · Ethernet over CAT5 cables (those with the RJ45-plugs) need at least 4 of 8wires. Most network cables sold nowadays usually incorporate the full 8 wires. So in theory you could split your cable to make it be 2 connections to your router.

Nov 18, 2020 · It is possible to split a single physical Ethernet cable into 2 cables, but you will limit the speeds to 100 megabit, as you only have 2 pairs (ie 4 wires) per cable. The big limitation is that the cable needs to GI between the same points and you need 2 ports in your router.

Mar 8, 2014 · Can I connect the Ethernet cable from my cable modem into A wireless router A direct Ethernet connection to a PC Do I need anything special? What kind of splitter?

Dec 18, 2020 · For 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet (10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX) only two of the four cable pairs are required. Sometimes a single cable is split to connect two sockets. If done properly that works fine. It's impossible to run Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over that setup though. can lose internet if someone touches the cables. That clearly indicates the crimps/sockets are bad. If you don't want to ...

Jan 16, 2019 · I have my cable modem in one room. I have a ethernet wire going through the wall connecting to the router. I have an Office I want to run an ethernet cable to, which would be pretty easy to do if I...

You'll need an extra cable that goes from the wall into any port on the switch, and then you plug your other devices into any of the other ports on the switch.
