Split output of gs305?

Could I split the output of 1 cable from my gs305 switch with another gs305 on the other end?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

     

    What problem are you trying to solve?

    Is the idea to connect two (or more) smaller switches like the gs305 to the same LAN and Ethernet network? This is not splitting, much more a cascading. So the answer is very likely yes!

  • I have a line running from my gs305 to another room in my house. What i would like to do is put another gs305 on the end of that line and run one output to my tv and one to my Roku. Would that work? I just didn't want to run a second cable from my original 305.

      Yes, that's the basic definition of cascaded switches.

       

      Convinced you will manage this. Good luck, and keep us posted please!
