I have used them in the past and they are just a wiring system (no hub).
Cat5e only uses 4 wires and the other 4 for shielding. It uses 4 for
each PC...in theory it should be slower because of interference but I've
never been able to tell the difference.

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).
