bergmayerOk this passive ethernet splitter was making me question if I really understood how things work, but apparently you can only use one of the devices at the same time. So ok, not sure why the hell you would buy such a thing https://www.amazon.com/NOBVEQ-Ethernet-Splitter-Connector-Adapter-Black/dp/B0C16CCN7Y/
I'd love to have a tiny ethernet switch in my apartment's telecom box—currently ethernet out from my cable modem is patched over to give me a wired connection in one other room. But there's no power to plug anything in, even if it did fit
Maybe this gizmo can help (power-over-ethernet injector) but I would like to not zap things https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Gigabit-Ethernet-Injector-TL-PoE150S/dp/B001PS9E5I/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1488425041&sr=1-3&keywords=poe%2Binjector&th=1
