Ethernet splitter vs switch: What's the difference and how do you use them?

Comments

1. Irisholt: people are really still using those dinosaur splitters?
2. Yaraweber: I've had to deal with enough tangles from my son's gaming setup to know a good switch is essential. What's the real-world scenario where an Ethernet splitter makes more sense
3. Velvet Halo: can't believe we're still recommending these to normal people - they've been obsolete since Cat 7 standards came out
4. Leo: who still uses an Ethernet splitter in 2023 anyway
5. Cipher Nomad: don't need to explain why a switch is generally better
6. Elias: haven't used one in ages, still got a dusty ol' splitter from college dorm days though
