Ethernet Cable Splitter
An Ethernet cable splitter can be one of the best investments made by any home or business. For anyone who has ever had to crawl under a desk to unplug one machine from a modem just to plug a different one in, the gift of an Ethernet signal splitter would probably be the highlight of their day. For less than the cost of a movie, you can make life easier and connect multiple computers through one port with an ethernet cable splitter.
What is Ethernet?
An Ethernet connection is generally considered to be one of the faster and better ways to connect your computer to the internet through your modem or router. An Ethernet cord is generally a bit thicker than other cords for your computer and has a plug that looks like a larger than normal phone plug. If you have one of these types of cords and plugs connecting from your computer to your modem or router, then you are using Ethernet.
Why would I need a splitter?
In the event that you only have one Ethernet plug on your hardware peripherals and two or more machines that you want connected to the internet you may find yourself incredibly inconvenienced. While many people feel the need to alternate which computer is plugged in depending on which is being used, there is no argument from anyone that doing that is incredibly inconvenient. An Ethernet cable splitter resolves that problem by doubling the number of ports that become available to you.
How does it work?
One end of the network port splitter has a plug like the one described above. This part plugs directly into your modem where your computer would usually connect to it. The other end of the Ethernet cable splitter will have two separate ports that can each be connected to different Ethernet computer cables. By plugging two cables into your network port splitter and connecting your splitter to your modem you will effectively double the number of computers, and the number of people, who can access the internet at once in your home or business. Even better there will be no more switching cables and wires, bumping your head under the desk or gagging on the dust that hovers around your more neglected hardware peripherals.
You can easily double the number the number of computers that you connect to the internet through Ethernet for less than the cost of a large pizza on a Friday night. Let go of the inconveniences of switching wires and grab hold of the extra productivity that having multiple computers on the internet will provide you with. Make life a little more simple and a lot less annoying with an Ethernet cable splitter.
