I have a Wireless Router/Modem in my living room and I ran 50ft of Cat6 ethernet to my computer room and in the computer room I put a switch. I have two ethernet cables coming out of the switch one to my main computer and the other to the other side of the room. However I don't want to run a third cord of same length to the other side of room. I want divide the cable among two other computers, will I lose a bunch of performance if I use a splitter or should I use another switch?
