There is no problem to use the Cat 5 cable with 2 RJ45 plugs.
The first one are using pair 1 and 2 ( pin 1, 2, 3, 6 ) the second are
pair 3 and 4 ( pin 4, 5, 7, 8 ) -- each pair are twisted.
The clue is the quality of the splitters and Cat 5 drop cables.
The Cat 5 standard have the maximum of 90 meter + 2 * 5 meter drop cable in
each end. With the splitters you have more RJ45 plugs. I don't know what the
Cat 5 standard says about spltters.
Have done some Cat 5 test and the test have passed with splitters.
( with new splitters and drop cable - what about used equipment )

No, Ethernet (10/100 that is) uses 4 wires to work. Regular Cat 5 has 8
wires, so you can run TWO independent lines. Now, you can start debates
over cross-over signal and attenuation.

I am under the impression that you cannot simply split an Ethernet signal
into two nodes passively, i.e. each port needs it's own Rx-Tx electronics.
The $30 item may be correct because it includes, in essence, a mini-hub.

Off subject but does anyone know where I can purchase in the US an Ethernet
splitter? That is the plug that converts a single cat-5 Ethernet cable into
2 cables so I don't have to resort to a Hub or running another cable.
I tried CDW but they don't have anything for less then $30 (major rip off).
