Does this splitter actually work? Like we talking about two PCs in LAN and streaming and torrenting

If it is merely a splitter, then:
Not with gigabit ethernet (because no collision detection/ CSMA/CD)
With fast ethernet and below, yes, it would work like a hub.
Or, if it is implemented as a switch, then yes.
Matthew Thompson
It's been reported to work, but I doubt it, since you can't have two PCs with the same IP.
A splitter won't also assign you two separate IPs, like a router can.
Jeremiah Wood
Luis Sanders
I mean you can't have 2 same IPs in the same LAN.
And a splitter doesn't assign IPs.
Thomas Fisher
I don't think that is what OP asked. A splitter would work in the same way a old-fashioned hub would, unique IP addresses would still be assigned to the MAC address of the individual NICs (as in, one IP per computer).
Jack Rogers
Then why would anyone buy routers if you could just use hubs/splitters?
Lincoln Miller
This would work like an old fashioned hub.
Forget everything above 10Base-T tho.
Ian Gomez
Yes
Gabriel Rodriguez
because subnets
Lucas Wood
Educate yourself about the OSI model and which protocols / devices operate at which layer.
Jeremiah Flores
Because Basically, before Gigabit ethernet, the ethernet standard supported Carrier Sense Medium Acces with Collision Detection. However, since nobody ever made a hub for Fast Ethernet (100 mbit/s) they removed it from the standard for Gigabit Ethernet (because it means lower latency).
You can still buy switches, which are not the same thing as routers. Switches forward frames based on MAC addresses, not IP addresses.

broadcast storms boiii

You only get one WAN IP from your provider tho (usually).
So how could you get unique IP addresses by using a splitter? Which device would be managing the WAN IP?
Adrian Richardson
really retarded mate, or your bait is very good

>You only get one WAN IP from your provider tho (usually).
Or a subnet, if you buy a small business plan.
>So how could you get unique IP addresses by using a splitter? Which device would be managing the WAN IP?
I was assuming that there was a gateway DSL modem/NAT combo there, which would be able to translate from LAN addresses to WAN. Without a DSL modem, you're quite right.
Josiah Martin
My ISP gives me new IP addresses up to 25 whenever I dhcp with new mac.
Angel Martinez
stay away. really.

I use one to connect two printers to one ethernet port. I only turn on one printer at a time.
Ian Jones
This is stupid

If you dont know what the fuck you are talking about STFU ! that is the best policy for actually being taken seriously. STFU if all you are going to do is make yourself look stupid
Oliver Jackson
It would work

how it works is because for ethernet you only need 4 wires to carry the signal. The other 4 are for signal integrity. The splitter takes two cables and uses 4 of each cables wires to transmit the signals, 2 up 2 down
so 16 wires go in and the 8 wires coming out are carrying two different signals

Holy fuck, this entire thread is the absolute state of Jow Forums, you're all idiots that know nothing about any of the TCP/IP layers
Samuel Morris
It's not a telephone jack, nice troll
William White
splitters are layer one
you'd be splitting the bandwidth more or less equally between both devices, as each is using it, and sending the traffic across both sides (so both computers and whatever is at the other end would be able to see both computers' traffic), like a hub
if that splitter is only rated at Cat5, you'll only get Cat5 speeds (10/100), if it's rated Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A, then you'll get gigabit (10/100/1000) as long as your patch cables are rated that high (if you don't know, read the words on the jacket)
so each computer can have its own IP

Network together 200 computers inside a single collision domain and get back to me with what you've learned.

No, they do not work. They can be used ONLY when you at most one of two devices is turned on at any time. You need to buy a switch.
Owen Cook
100mbit only uses 4 wires
Ethernet cable has 8 wires
1000mbit uses 6 wires
Christopher Gray
ITT retards that have no idea how CAT5 twisted pair works.
This.
Logan James
The splitter itself will NOT work like a hub. You can't connect 2 endpoints in parallel to symmetrical twisted pairs, because that's not how symmetrical pairs work.
Only like this, with an identical splitter on the other end plus a 10/100Mbps switch/hub. You might have problems with interference between lines at long lengths of cable, because having two independent Ethernet lines in one UTP cable isn't part of the standard. (That is assuming the splitter puts 2 pairs to one socket and 2 other pairs to the other socket; if both output sockets are wired in parallel then I don't even know what's the point)
Cameron Jenkins
Retard who doesn't understand what routing and LAN IPs are. He thinks you can make a cable assign different IPs to different devices.
Cameron Brooks
Jesus fucking christ this thread, you put an identical Y splitter on both ends and it uses the 'extra' wires unnecessary on lower base communications, it's functionally similar to running two cables side by side but costs less since you only need one long run of cable
