However, Ethernet cable splitters are not perfect in fact. They can cause a slower speed for network traffic. According to a professional survey, an Ethernet splitter reduces the data throughput from 1000Mbps to 100Mbps. An EOP is where you transfer data for an internal network (LAN) using a building’s existing electrical cables. Recommended reading: USB Splitter or USB Hub? This Guide to Help You Choose One The Advantages and Disadvantages of Ethernet Splitter You’re short on Ethernet ports and want to transform one Ethernet cable into two. The first thing that springs to mind is probably Ethernet splitting. You have a few options: hub, splitter, or switch. Each solution has something different to offer, so before purchasing any gadget, it’s important to identify which one has the most to offer you. Here we show you the differences between an Ethernet switch vs. hub vs. splitter so you can make the right choice. For my FTTPoD install, I was talking to the engineers about this. They said that initially they had considered running a cable in sections with 4 or 5 splices along the route - presumably that would make it easier to branch off later to serve other splitter nodes. In the end they decided to do the "traditional" approach of pulling a subduct (tube) all the way from the fibre aggregation node to my splitter node, and blowing a cable in one piece through that. More reliable.

In reply to a post by Woolwich:You have a 'spine' of fibre running down a road with - lets just say - ten strands of individual fibres. At some point you need to split off one fibre, send it to (up to) 32 houses down a side road. How is the main cable physically split? Is it unsheathed and a fibre exposed? Returning to our original topic of transforming one Ethernet cable into two, the Ethernet switch is the real star of this guide. The way it works is incredibly simple. You can use one port to connect the switch to your router via Ethernet, then connect your Ethernet devices to the remaining ports, just like a hub. So you see, we have had the local infrastructure for some time but it isn't connected to the main fibre spine which runs along a main A road some 4 Km away.If you need to connect additional devices via coaxial cabling, then you may also want to use a coaxial splitter.

If you're trying to connect a BT TV box, this connects via Ethernet to your BT Hub.

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. For some limited situations, Ethernet splitters are a good option. However, it’s almost always better to opt for an Ethernet switch or hub. An Ethernet splitter looks pretty unassuming. It’s a small gizmo with three Ethernet ports – two on one side and one on the other. If you have a surplus of short Ethernet cables – but only one or two long cables – then this is where a splitter comes in handy.While Ethernet splitters are cheap and appear to offer a good solution, they do result in a slower speed for network traffic. This is likely to affect the performance of your Ethernet-connected devices. Ethernet splitters are also limited to a maximum of two devices per cable. Since the access points all broadcast the same signal, you don’t have to switch Wi-Fi connections as you move from one access point to another. If you regularly encounter Wi-Fi dead zones in your home or office, then you may be an ideal candidate for mesh Wi-Fi. Popular mesh-router solutions include Google’s Nest Wi-fi, Netgear Orbi, and eero. 2. Ethernet Over Power Line (EOP) Avoid using extension cables for your Hub as they may cause problems with your connection. If you must use one, then use a new, high quality broadband ADSL extension cable You may also like this: Router VS Switch: What Is the Difference Between Them?
