Can etherSPLIT be used on 100BaseT systems (100 Mbps)?

Currently no. In Ethernet specifications, the wire is a critical component of the system. Typically, etherSPLIT will be install in situations where only Category 1 or Category 3 (loose twisted) wire is installed. For successful 100 Mbps applications, Category 5 wire is required. Additionally, because of this limitation, etherSPLIT will not perform in 10/100 auto negotiating schemes where the NIC (network interface card in the computer) and the hub or switch are BOTH 10/100 auto sensing. This means that etherSPLIT will only work with straight 10Mbps hubs or switches.
