Hubs... simpler times.  Well behaved, friendly network devices.  First we had 
Ts and vampire taps, then hubs, then switches then VLANs then routers 
everywhere...

I chalk it all up to laziness on the part of the vendor, non-technical 
technical writers, and just cheap stuff pretending to be something it isn't. 

If you want and need a switch, get a damn switch. If they intersperse other 
terms like splitter or hub, stay away.

  I've been seeing Amazon recommend me 'Ethernet Splitters'  They appear 
  to just be a switch, but I'm guessing that 'Ethernet Splitter' Makes 
  more sense to the commoners.  I guess that makes sense from a marketing 
  perspective.  I've probably used the term splitter when describing a 
  switch to a customer.  I usually see 1-2 or 1-4 splitters.  "1KMbps 
  splitter"  that just sounds impressive.
