Using a splitter EX6120 extender

Can I use a splitter on the EX6120 extender to connect two devices? If so, can you recommend a splitter?
Thanks

    A splitter will only allow 1 device to function at a time. I wouldn't recommend it. it'll cause issues/frustration/won't work right. 

    You can buy a fairly inexpesive 4-8 port switch that'll actually let you use the ports at the same time. Its usually less the $20 for a 5 port gigabit switch. If you don't need gigabit, you can get them even cheaper.
