Need to run 2 ethernet cables from 1 outlet.

I have an eeros with only 1 out. I've seen split cables and powered boxes. Only one cable will be used at a time.

Get an unmanaged switch. Come out of your one socket, plug into the switch, and plug your other two cables into other ports on the switch.

Get a cheap 5-port tplink/Netgear switch. You may not want to deal with the headaches of a splitter.

10$ ?

Yes, a switch is a good idea. One advantage is one computer can see the other's files if both are connected, powered up and properly configured for file sharing, thus allowing exchanging/copying/transferring files

There are a whole bunch of sub-$10 4-port switches available on Amazon, although I'm not sure about the quality. But that will basically allow one port in and three out. You don't need to worry about which port plugs in as it just takes care of itself. But here's one:

The main issue is that they're going to need a power supply, and one more wall wart can be an issue depending on what else is there. On top of being kind of an eyesore compared to having more ports in the first place.

Thanks all.

Unmanaged switch. Unless you want to really get into network management and then get managed switches.

I have one of these in my network. As basic as it gets, but it's small and does the job just fine.
