I wonder if I opened up one of these, what’s inside?

I could actually use one of those USB to SFP dongles, it looks like Amazon has 
the same thing from various unpronounceable alphabet soup brand names.  Alibaba 
and print your own brand name on it?

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.
