Distance, what it has to punch through to reach you including walls, reflection from metal objects, etc.

Electronically active. A splitter for two phones has no electronics in it, just wires soldered together. If you are piggybacking data at a higher frequency on top of the (low) audio frequency of speech there might be circuitry to filter out the data from the audio and vice versa. Which is how you wouldn't hear noise on the phones connected to the splitters. >Generally, the phones are not used very much.

The noise will not damage any of the electronic equipment connected? Thanks |
