"ETHERNET" NETWORK CABLE SPLITTING INTO TWO

Because modern common 100Base-TX (and 10Base-T) network cabling uses a four-pair cable of which only two pairs are used, the other two pairs lie "unused." Two of these splitters are needed, one placed near the computers and the other near the switch etc. This way one permanently installed network cable can be shared between two machines.

THIS CANNOT SPLIT ONE CONNECTION INTO TWO.

Note! You need a splitter at both ends of the cable to be split (= two pieces). The splitter contains no electronics, i.e. it does not act as an Ethernet switch or hub. Splitters only allow two existing lines to be transmitted over a single cable.
