"An ethernet cable splitter allows you to connect two computers to one ethernet connection. Once you have your splitter made, you plug it into both computers just as you would with a normal ethernet cable."
A straight cable is used to connect a PC to a hub, switch, or router.
Is a crossover cable needed to connect Host computers to the switch? Why or why not?
You can use a switch to connect different pieces of equipment. For example, a standard ADSL router only has a port for a single Ethernet cable. If you want to connect 2 or more computers to the Internet, you can use a switch. In this case, the ADSL router and each computer connect to the switch, via a standard Ethernet cable.If you don't have an Internet connection, you can still set up a home network to share files, etc. To connect only 2 computers, you can connect them directly via a crossover cable. To connect more than 2 computers, better use a switch.You can use a switch to connect different pieces of equipment. For example, a standard ADSL router only has a port for a single Ethernet cable.

You can connect them with an ethernet cable, or by WiFi if they have wireless cards.
I will explain to you properly how you can connect the switch with a fibre optic cable. The ethernet switch provides the all network connection to the fibre optic cable so the ethernet cable plugs into one of the output ethernet ports on the switch provided by the fibre network.
All the components needed to connect 2 computers together are two Ethernet cards, a network switch and 2 Ethernet cables. Alternatively a single USB transfer cable can be used for simple file transfers.
It is an ethernet cable.
A straight-through ethernet cable.
To form a network from two computers is enough a crossover cable. For more than two computers, a hub or switch is necessary.For example you can use a router like a D-LINK together with an Ethernet cable depending on your choice
You can connect any device that takes an ethernet cable! PS3's, Xboxes or any other game console will work just fine.
To the switch the router is just another host, so it connects with a straight Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable.
