Its main aim, is on a 10/100mb Lan (which only uses two pairs) utilizing the other two pairs in the cable for a second Ethernet device. This is for cable only and will not work by trying to run two pc's off one switch port, each pc must use its own port, but two pc's can share one cable. The same can't be said for Giga-Bit (1000mb), This uses all four pairs so using a splitter would force the NIC to 100mb.
